The present research investigates the effects of strategic training of thinking on critical thinking in k-5 students. An experimental study, 80 students (40 female, 40 male) were selected through cluster sampling and assigned into experimental and control groups.
The experimental group received training of thinking session (15 sessions, each in one hour). Student’s critical thinking were assessed by Cornell critical thinking –x level scale, then wee compared. Data were analyzed through analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results revealed that training of thinking did have significant effect on critical thinking. Critical thinking can be increased via direct training of thinking, participating students in classroom tasks, and sharing them in thinking process.
