Critical Thinking in Education

This year, NAACE partnered with Zinc Communicate, a Zinc Media Group Company, to produce a content series, called One Chance, investigating the impact of EdTech on teachers and pupils around the world.  We are thrilled to be able to launch the series with our first episode, where we worked alongside Kialo Edu.

How can we better teach critical thinking skills in the classroom? How can we  improve the way children discuss and debate? Kialo Edu provides a platform  where children can debate online, with teachers as a guide, and a framework  that promotes critical thinking and rational discussion. We talk to a GCSE  teacher, the MD of Kialo and an academic specialising in critical thinking, and  discuss how this free online tool can help children understand how to  formulate ideas, discuss, debate. We look at how student ideas are captured  and how the process can help students write better essays.
