Title | Can digital technology be used to improve reflection in order to develop students’ critical thinking? |
Authors | Barnaby, B. and Burghardt, V. |
Abstract | Developing students’ critical thinking skills is a main aim of higher education and most educationalists agree that cultivating such skills is essential for students who are engaged in academic study (Behar-Horenstein and Niu, 2011). This is because critical thinking enables learners to dig below the surface of subjects and engage in critical dialogue with its main arguments and theories (Cottrell, 2011). Also, critical thinking helps people to be responsible citizens, which is another aim of higher education (Behar-Horenstein and Niu, 2011). Therefore, innovative and practical pedagogies for nurturing critical thinking skills in higher education students are essential. |
