Influence of Teaching Strategies in Developing Critical Thinking Skills: A Review

Abstract

    This study aimed to review existing primary and secondary resources to make all stakeholders aware of the influence of different teaching strategies on fostering critical thinking in students. A specific criterion was set out by the researcher like the scope of the study, language, year of publication, nature of the journal, etc. The researcher searched out articles that duly fulfill the required criteria. After a review of those articles, findings explored multiple teaching strategies that may have a positive influence on students in making them critical thinkers. From this review, the most effective teaching strategies include the use of fairy tales, problem-based approach, collaborative learning, Socratic questioning, inquiry-based learning, and argument mapping, etc. The researcher suggested adopting multiple teaching strategies to enhance critical thinking skills in students.
