The main aim of the study was to offer different perspectives on mathematics education by focusing on development of critical thinking skills needed to understand mathematics. The study was carried out in six cycles via an action research model. The data consisted of unconstructed observations (...
Educational psychologists frame critical thinking (CT) as a set of generic thinking and reasoning skills, including a disposition for using them, as well as a commitment to using the outcomes of CT as a basis for decision-making and problem solving. In such descriptions, CT is established as ...
In light of the importance of developing critical thinking, and given the scarcity of research on critical thinking in mathematics education in the broader context of higher order thinking skills, we have carried out a research that examined how teaching strategies oriented towards developing higher-...
According to the curriculum guide from the Hong Kong Education Bureau, one of the important goals in learning mathematics are to develop creativity, skills in problem-solving, critical thinking and communication.

The domain refers to specific areas in the ‘culture’ where the creative product has been constructed: mathematics, poetry, music, etc. Thousand of domains compound the culture. The field refers to all the individuals who act as gatekeepers to the domain. They evaluate whether a product is ...
1. CRITICAL THINKING –The goal is to provide students a toolkit to approach any problem (outside of mathematics). Almost all of the terms presented here can be used to analyze issues in history, literature, science, and politics, and many are equally effective in the social realm of adoles...
Self-efficacy was revealed as having no direct effect on the application of critical thinking skills nor performance in mathematical reasoning. Policymakers or educators should take these results into consideration to seize opportunity for students to make sense and think critically in mathematics studies...
Although much of the theory and research in critical thinking comes from cognitive psychology, it is an interdisciplinary field with prominent contributions from education, philosophy, mathematics, and other academic disciplines. Contemporary focus has been on the instructional design, implementation, and ...
