Critical thinking in terms of psycho‐pedagogy: towards individual cognitive independence and responsibility: The paper is devoted to the methods of recognition and development of critical thinking. In the initial part synthetically are presented the views of researchers connected with an education perspective (the definition and features of critical thinking). Within this aspect crucial appears the question: why are we afraid of criticism? What are the reasons why we do not apply it in contact with the cultural message, with the opinions and actions of people? For relatively seldom is it used as a support in discussion, in making decisions and choices. In an attempt to answer such formulated problems presented is an outline of the author’s classification for inhibitors that prevent or hinder the application of critical thinking. Here the main claim is that in the modern world of news excess and the chaos of values, critical thinking as a manifestation of cognitive self‐reliance and responsibility should become the competence characterizing each individual. Hence, the author formulates some recommendations concerning pedagogical practice. They are implied from the author’s concept of constructive criticism, the adopted the principles and methods supporting critical thinking.

There is a demand for transformation in higher education. Undergraduates need to be taught critical thinking, an essential skill that should be central to the mission of all educational institutions. Critical thinking is a key focus of academic interest among researchers in the field of pedagogy and methodology. Despite this, there is still a lack of sufficient information on approaches, methods, techniques, and means of incorporating critical thinking skills in the classroom environment at the tertiary education level. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the hands-on experiences of some European and Asian universities in promoting critical thinking education using a range of academic models. The review shows that critical thinking has already been integrated into many major tertiary education programmes in both European and Asian universities. Further, majority of the academic models implemented are transferable and flexible. The results confirm that in terms of content, methods, and technologies, university education is focusing on cultivating the higher order skills necessary for innovative professional activities in modern world.

Technologies are key alternative resources in the classroom. In relation to the teaching of mathematics, educational robotics can contribute to the development of learning and skills, where the use of technologies in education – as an important resource in educational development – proves to be increasingly permanent and present in our teaching environments. This book brings discussions and reflections on a teaching experiment, based on the use of robotics for the teaching of mathematics, showing the importance of technologies and their contribution to Education. The development of this proposal was organized according to a set of activities, through experiments in educational robotics, carried out in the computer lab of a municipal school, with students from the 7th year of elementary school, in the city of Santarém, state of Pará. The results obtained showed that the development of knowledge in technological areas encourages students to learn and collaborates for their interest, providing moments of significant learning within the discipline of Mathematics. As a result, the use of educational robotics in pedagogical practice resulted in participation, development of critical thinking and student learning, as well as contributing to the debate, involving discussions about interdisciplinarity between different areas of knowledge, such as education, mathematics and informatics.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to present the results of our analysis regarding the development of critical thinking skills for the subject Macedonian language for specific purposes 2, research conducted in the online teaching period in the academic 2019-2020. The appearance of COVID-19 virus in March 2020 and the pandemic that it caused seriously affected the educational process. But the well-established Google Meet and Google Classroom platforms have proven to be a solid foundation for teaching in extraordinary circumstances at SEEU. Our goal in the past period was mainly aimed at developing and improving the critical thinking skills which are clearly defined in the syllabus. Definitions of the term critical thinking are given, as well as the results of our research regarding the development of critical thinking skills during online teaching. In terms of methodology, for each skill an exercise was given, which was assessed by the professor and the students received feedback. Our research covers 7 critical thinking skills. An analysis is emphasized as one of the key skills for developing critical thinking. The ability to apply established personal, professional and social rules and criteria reflects students’ ability to present information in their own way. In the modern world, access to information is readily available. The development of critical thinking by mastering the skill of logical reasoning was aimed at establishing correlations and conclusions that are supported or determined by the above data in the form of a debate on the criteria for successful professional communication. The ability to distinguish is emphasized as one of the skills for developing critical thinking. The novelties in the future should be mainly focused on the main challenge, which is the motivation of the students for active participation because according to our expected results there was more pressure for their activity on Google Meet, but they showed significant interest in the exercises that affected the final grade (according to our previous experience, that was characteristic for the period of teaching with physical presence). The active involvement of the students, but also the additional engagement of the professors in these extraordinary circumstances will contribute to a quality and smooth mastering of the skills for critical analysis.

The article deals with the theoretical foundations, methodological features and practical problems of teaching discrete mathematics to future teachers of mathematics and computer science in terms of integrative-modular approach to the organization of the educational process. In particular, the multilevel system of purposes of continuous teaching discrete mathematics according to the scheme “school — bachelor — master” is constructed. The role of discrete mathematics in the modern world, science and education is analyzed. The necessity of introduction to the basic questions of discrete content line of schoolchildren and students is justified. The place of discipline “Discrete Mathematics” in the system of modern domestic general and higher education is revealed. Methodical expediency of development and implementation in the pedagogical practice of continuous learning methods of discrete mathematics in the system “school — bachelor — master” on the basis of integrative-modular approach to the organization of the educational process is justified. Based on the basic provisions of the competence approach, guided by the principles of fundamentality, continuity, integrativeness, professional orientation and modularity, a multi-level model of subject competencies — a system of goals for teaching discrete mathematics to future teachers of mathematics and computer sciences has been developed. The issues of practical implementation of the developed method are considered.

Local Traditions

Evaluation recognizes that the interaction of culture and local traditions greatly influences the composition of an individual’s cognitive knowledge. Indeed, there is broad agreement that it is desirable to incorporate the cultural knowledge of indigenous students into pedagogical practice. Choosing a new invention of indigenous peoples, e.g. the kora-kora, against measuring the Bloomian critical thinking skills test, i.e. analyzing, evaluating and creating, developed with physics training in terms of wave motion topics, then integrated into android Mobile-Based Testing, this study examines and compares Mobile-Based Testing physics in critical thinking against instinctive, accumulated knowledge of physics. This study describes methods to develop reliable, objective, and valid MBT, measuring students’ critical thinking skills in physics in three steps using empirical data. Specifically, the calculated phase of defining, designing, and developing is devised for local schools. Samples were progressively distributed, through deliberate random sampling, in the medium to the high cognitive bracket and to others within the low to moderate cognitive bracket (in total to 60 students, ages 15–16). The approval of both content and empirical studies represents the index of validity in this depth analysis. Various positive similarities with other formative critical thinking tests show and justify creating an unexpected newly devised test, evidence of which is in the text. The conventional model is discussed along with presenting further work suggestions.

Multicultural Literacy

The paper presents a theoretical overview of the notion “multimodal literacy” in the context of the multiliteracies pedagogy focusing on the research relevant to developing notions of literacy for twenty-first century higher education standards. The relevance of the topic is explained by the fact that the modern world is becoming more and more pluralist and increasingly dependent on new technologies and different modes of communication, students require new transdisciplinary skills and methods of learning. The author examines the changing pattern of literacy as broad, multidimensional knowledge, skills and attitudes. Literacy is viewed as a personal sociocultural capacity the development of which provides every student with the rules how to solve problems, to relate to others and survive in diverse social settings, and creates numerous opportunities for enhancing critical thinking and reflection as well. The foundation for students’ multimodal literacy in the digital learning environment of a higher education institution through theoretical and applied frameworks of visual, media, information and multicultural literacy is considered. The diverse affordance of digital tools and range of multimodal genres offer engaging new avenues for students’ creative expression on the basis of developing multimodal literacy. It is emphasized that successful life in a world of multimodal information requires fluency in a broad range of literacies to consume and create texts in visual, audio, and written formats, to evaluate messages in a variety of mediums, and to gain sociocultural awareness and the ability to communicate and live in a global diverse society. Pedagogic techniques across disciplines (multimodal essay, digital mapping project) are highlighted in view of their effectiveness in developing multicultural literacy of undergraduate students. It is an empowering practice for modern educators to incorporate multimodal tasks into a diverse learning environment, which teaches critical thinking and multimodal skills, enhances audio-visual rhetoric, develops writing and oral communication skills, and aids in self-expression and self-reflection.
