Description

It is widely know by now that Critical Thinking (CT) is a skill that students should obtain during their education. Especially in the climate change debate young people need to distinguish between facts and ‘fake news’ because the effects of climate change concern them in particular. CT skills are measured in general-domain but also assessed for topics in the physics context, hence for domain-specific. In order to connect the two topics, CT and climate change, semi-structured interviews were conducted to assess students’ reasoning patterns and CT skills in relation to climate change.
