Critical Thinking Skills

Program Objectives

Critical Thinking Skills Programme aims to enable participants to realise and deepen their critical thinking skills, tendencies and obstacles to critical thinking by thinking about critical thinking, which is defined as thinking about what we think.

Considered among 21st century skills, how critical thinking can be used in daily life, how it can be made a classroom routine and how students' critical thinking skills can be supported are presented with practical examples.

​Participating colleagues are expected to do the work they need to do in asynchronous content and to participate actively and effectively in synchronous sessions in order to achieve the targeted acquisitions of our training.

Critical thinking skills being an established culture of a classroom and a school requires qualified practice and active participation of all relevant stakeholders. We know the importance of all stakeholders in a school for the formation of a critical thinking culture. Therefore, our training is school-based.  The participation of the majority (80%) of teachers working in the same school is required.
