Abstract(s)
This study provides an overview on the contextual factors, educational practices
and teaching methods that develop critical thinking on students. To provide this
overview, we synthesized the meta-analysis and reviews of studies published be tween 1940 and 2017. For outlining the contextual factors, we present the three lev els that promote or inhibit critical thinking: (1) institutional level, (2) teaching level,
and (3) course level. We further synthesized the literature on educational practices
that develop critical thinking and outline the teaching methods from three catego ries: (1) oral (e.g., debate, dialogues etc.), (2) written (e.g., debate, dialogues etc.), and
(3) applied (e.g., experiential learning, problem solving etc.). This literature review
study provides theoretical implications for the literature on critical thinking. These
implications consist of an overview of the contextual factors, educational practices
and teaching methods that develop critical thinking.
