Trello online discussion has become one of the important strategies for the University Utara Malaysia Management Foundation Programme student to teach other students to think critically in conveying their ideas and become more proactive and creative in critical thinking subject. In a heutagogical approach, learners become highly autonomous and self-determined while learning online. They use Trello online discussion tool as self-determination learning. Trello enable the learners to use their capacity and capability with the goal of producing learners. Trello online learning was conducted to examine its effectiveness in enhancing macro critical thinking among active-reflective learning style. The students discuss and write their ideas in Trello. Ideas that are posted in Trello will be displayed in front of the class so that the entire learners in the class could see the given ideas. Paul's model was used to analyze learners' critical thinking in Trello online discussion.

Interaction is one of the crucial processes in online learning, which is a process derived from a common encouragement among people action that they able to utilize, store, share and construct knowledge. It is believed that the interaction among students is able to train the students to involve in active learning and enhance critical thinking skill. Recently, critical thinking is recognized as one of the 21st-century skills that students must have to do well in the community. The engagement of the students in a learning environment that supports higher-order thinking activity is the most effective approach to guide the students in developing critical thinking skills. Nevertheless, without the assistance of technology, it may be nearly impossible to ensure that all students have access to learning environments that support and develop these skills. The way students study, interact and think has been shifted due to the increasing use of technologies in learning institutions, particularly during online learning. The online platform is better when there are students interact with each other in form of social learning. Nonetheless, limited research is available on how online interaction in the social learning environment can promote students’ critical thinking skill. This study utilized a theory-building method to design the framework. The purpose of the framework of this study is to assist other practitioners and researchers in applying the elements of online interaction in a social learning environment to foster students’ critical thinking skill.

Nussbaum (1998) proposed that Socratic activity is a worthwhile pursuit with regard to academic advising relationships. While it offers the promise of certain benefits, such as the development of critical thinking skills, Socratic activity arguably cannot be universally applied to all advising relationships. In presenting and analyzing issues related to the Socratic method, I offer support for a model of quasi-Socratic activity in advising as first identified by Hagen (1994). Referred to as “beneficial dialectic,” it can function from a more contextual standpoint than the traditional Socratic questioning method because through it advisors can consider factors such as level of student development, learning environments, and individual proclivities.

<p class="16">Covid-19 spurs teachers to carry out online learning. This study aimed to analyze the improvement of students' critical thinking skills through online learning based on Android-based PhET Simulation. This research was Quasi-Experimental using one group pre-test and post-test design involving 27 students of class VIII who program science subjects at MTs Alif Laam Miim Surabaya, Indonesia. The research instrument used critical thinking skills tests that have met valid and reliable requirements. Before and after learning activities, students were given a pre-test and a post-test. The data collected was analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The results showed that there was an increase in students' critical thinking skills with an average N-gain of 0.57, in the medium category. The highest N-gain was achieved in the "interpretation" indicator, which is 0.83 in the high category and the lowest in the "analysis" indicator, which is 0.39 in the moderate category. This study concluded that learning science by using an Android-based PhET Simulation can improve the critical thinking skills of junior high school students.</p>

This chapter presents theories, issues and practices for creating effective, technologically rich learning environments in schools. In the digital age, teachers and school leaders must work together to ensure the development of higher level critical thinking skills for students. Using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy of Knowledge and Webb's Depth of Knowledge as theoretical guides, this chapter discusses how teachers may move towards more flexible, student-centered instructional models rather than traditional teacher-centered methodologies. Guiding questions are presented to assist teachers in determining what to consider when designing technology-enhanced instruction to promote higher level critical thinking skills. Topics include a review of technological factors influencing technology integration, modifications of teacher practices to best match the changing culture in K-12 classrooms, examinations of pedagogical practices in techno-centric classrooms, current and future professional development needs for teachers, and the importance of assessment and evaluation in monitoring the effectiveness of instructional practices in 21st Century learning environments.

The  existence  of the  Covid-19   pandemic  in  2020  resulted  in  learning  being carried  out on-line.  However, critical  thinking  skills are still  honed in  the learning process. The  purpose  of this  study  was  to  obtain  a description of the  critical  thinking  skills  of students  of Mathematics  Education   2019,  PGRI  Ronggolawe   Tuban  University  in  the Environmental Knowledge  course  using the PDEODE  strategy on the Reflective cognitive style  and   Impulsive  cognitive   style.  This  type   of  research   is  descriptive  exploratory research, Data collection  techniques  used MFFf (Matching  Familiar  Figures  Test  (MFFT) and  critical  thinking   ability  tests.  The  research  subjects  were  12  students.  The  results showed  that:  1)  There were 5  students  with  a reflective cognitive style and 7 students  with an 9pulsive cognitive  style.  2) The average results of critical thinking  skills for all aspects of critical thinking  components  in the reflective cognitive  style group are:  40%  for high category    20%  for  moderate  category    40%  for  low  category   while  in  the  impulsive cognitive  style group: 28.6%  for high fJ.tegory   28.6%  for  medium  category,  and 42.8% for  low  category.  The conclusion   is  that the PDEODE  strategy can  be applied  in online learning  to empower  critical  thinking  ski! ls  in  terms of reflective  and impulsive cognitive styles.

Learning activities were carried out online or the Online Learning Model (OLM) in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic. Every student who participates in OLM is trained in critical thinking and regularly improves the solving of a mathematical problem. This research used qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Researchers were interested in identifying critical thinking standards of analysis at the Novice Performance Level with the Online Learning Model (OLM) in Geometry Lectures in solving geometric problems based on students' Critical thinking skills with analysis indicators. Subjects were taken based on the assignment score on the material. Subjects were grouped into 3 abilities, namely low ability (Re), medium ability (Se), and high ability (Ti). The number of subjects was three people who were taken from each group at each level. Data were collected using 2 mutually supporting instruments, namely the test instrument and the interview instrument. The validation used was expert validation and content validation. The results showed that online learning activities or the Online Learning Model (OLM) can be identified that subjects with low abilities fulfill all indicators in the analysis stage, while not meeting all indicators for moderate and high student abilities because the Novice performance level is in accordance with its understanding, namely the lowest level where the subject had not been able to solve the given problem at all.
