CRITICAL THINKING
Click on picture to learn how to teach critical thinking digitally
Critical thinking is a self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective mode of thinking (Paul & Elder, 2011). Learning in a world where traditional assessment of intelligence is dramatically changing and where knowledge is more readily available due to the proliferation of information communication technologies (ICT) has become a challenge. In order to convey critical thinking skills in ICT, the learner must be able to interact with the technology in a way that requires a high level of cognitive involvement in order to self-construct their own knowledge. When a student navigates through hyperlinks and interactive texts, a complicated learning process is created. Furthermore, with regard to online learning, the learning environments must possess an appropriate instructional design to support the students in developing their point of view and being critical thinkers (Kok, 2008).
