Description
These days we have unlimited access to an overabundance of information. Some of it is not true or not based on scientific knowledge. Therefore, we should be developing the critical thinking skills of students. We need to teach them how to verify information, recognize scientifically correct information and ask questions or draw conclusions appropriately. This contribution presents an initial mapping of the level of critical thinking in university students and grammar school students. Methods for developing critical thinking were used in physics classes during one year in a selected grammar school. Consequently, we observed the changes in students' critical thinking.
