In this chapter, the authors discuss how digital storytelling expands traditional storytelling options to serve as an integrative approach to (1) deepen student understanding of social studies content, (2) learn history through multiple perspectives, and (3) seek social justice through civics engagement. Most stories told about our history tend to focus on the dominant narrative which portrays an inaccurate depiction of events and individuals. When students move beyond the “single story” of the dominant narrative to explore multiple perspectives, voices, and historical accounts through counter narratives, they develop essential critical thinking skills to help them not only deepen their understanding of content in social studies but to encourage them to actively engage as democratic citizens seeking social justice for a better world.

This paper presents the results of a research done to investigate the effectiveness of Philosophy for Children (P4C), a pedagogy employing philosophical dialogue in a community of inquiry, in a Philippine primary school.  Quantitative analysis of critical thinking skills identified by Sharp and Splitter (1995) as (1) reasoning; (2) concept analysis; and (3) meaning-making revealed that there was a considerable increase in the frequency of the children’s use of such critical thinking skills over the course of fifteen (15) sessions of dialogical inquiry.  Moreover, qualitative analysis of excerpts from the dialogue transcripts accounted for the refinement of the children’s use of the critical thinking skills.  This pioneering work thus calls for further research that will implement P4C in other grade levels and to explore other indicators of development in children’s thinking.  Further, it recommends that primary schools adopt P4C in Philippine basic education curriculum and that teacher education institutions provide teacher training and include P4C for pre-service training.

Data Collection Technique

The present research aims to analyze the need for the Probing Prompting model in social studies learning to improve students' critical thinking skills during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study employs qualitative research with a descriptive analysis approach (Moleong, 2014). The data collection technique used is documentation that involves the study of some books, journals, and the regulation that is issued by the Minister of Education and Culture regarding learning policies during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results in the study show that there are various problems experienced during the social studies learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic. The problems found are (1) The social studies learning during the Covid-19 pandemic still employs conventional models, (2) Teachers assign tasks to students without providing learning materials, and (3) The social studies learning only focuses on completing materials and learning outcomes in the cognitive aspects. Therefore, the Probing Prompting model can be used as a solution and reference for teachers in the social studies learning process. The reason is that Probing Prompting model is proven to be able to improve the quality of social studies learning and improve students' critical thinking skills that are undeniably required in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia.
