Abstract | Critical thinking is an essential competency in the new information age. But research shows that students commonly lack critical thinking skills and hence promoting students' critical thinking becomes crucial. This exploratory study investigated the extent to which secondary school students' critical thinking could be promoted by writing reflections in the weblog. Students' critical thinking was measured by using the Newman's model. Results showed that writing reflections in the weblog could help promote students' critical thinking and according to the Newman's model, three categories of critical thinking were promoted the most, they were bringing outside knowledge or experience (O+), relevance (R+), and justification (J+). In addition, the study also found that the types of interaction with peers and the teacher had a more positive effect on the extent of critical thinking. Implications for other research are discussed. (Contains 6 tables and 3 figures.) (As Provided). |
