Description

This workshop aims to integrate Critical Thinking (CT) into physics education, an aspect often overlooked in daily teaching. Using a scaffolded instructional approach aligned with Halpern's CT framework, the workshop will provide educators and teachers with the essential skills and knowledge to enhance CT in the physics classroom. Grounded in behavioral theories, it emphasizes practical engagement, allowing participants to develop, evaluate, and refine CT-based materials through hands-on activities and peer review.
