Determining Critical Thinking Disposition

Abstract

This review of the research examines factors that affect critical thinking in a variety of demographic contexts, including educational tactics, cultural background, and mental health assistance. Results show that when combined with mental health therapies, structured teaching strategies like Socratic questioning and inquiry-based learning may greatly improve students' critical thinking abilities and attitudes. Our theory is that integrating mental health services and culturally sensitive instruction into the classroom may have a significant impact on how critical thinking develops in all demographics. Future studies should examine these linkages experimentally and evaluate the efficacy of interventions in various contexts. This foundation supports the development of critical thinking instruction, which is essential for tackling difficult social challenges.
