Resumo(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.
