ABSTRACT
Critical thinking in education is an enduring and controversial topic. A plethora of articles, books, and studies exist in the field, particularly from recent years, making a fully comprehensive review of the literature virtually impossible. It is a broad topic overlapping with many areas of study in various disciplines, including cognitive psychology, philosophy, human development, curriculum development, and educational psychology, to name a few. An effort is made in this review to cover a wide range of issues relevant to critical thinking as well as the most important and controversial works.
