Redefining Critical Thinking for Educators

About the Webinar

Too often, "critical thinking" is a phrase we throw around without a clear roadmap for how to actually teach it. In an age of information overload, students need more than just the ability to memorize facts—they need to know how to analyze, evaluate, and challenge them.

In this session, we aim to strip away the academic jargon and provide a fresh, practical framework for embedding real analytical skills into your daily teaching practice. Learn how to guide your students to spot hidden biases, evaluate evidence systematically, and construct unshakeable arguments.

About the Series

Research to Practice: The Global Classroom is a webinar series that focuses on the research and insights Marshall Cavendish Education (MCE) conducted. The series brings education research to life through real classroom experiences and experiments from around the world.

It highlights how evidence-based studies, innovative professional development, and collaborative practices can meaningfully shape teaching and learning. By featuring research across diverse contexts and subjects, the series aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, empowering educators, researchers, and school leaders to translate research insights into impactful classroom action.
