A coaching approach for developing critical thinking skills of students in higher education

Theodoulides, Lenka, 1967- A coaching approach for developing critical thinking skills of students in higher education / Lenka Theodoulides. -- This short paper presents the content of the ongoing project and research findings concerning how critical thinking skills are developed among students and how to implement the coaching approach in teaching and learning at a the university. Critical thinking is one of the key competences of a university-educated person. Slovakia‘s performance in the international educational achievement studies (PISA, TIMSS) are unsatisfactory. Students have difficulty identifying valuable information sources, assessing their credibility, and then formulating their own conclusions and justifying their opinion. We believe that if this competence is not developed through various innovative methods and approaches, the students will not be able to think critically. However, critical thinking is expected from a qualified university graduate or educated adult.
