Abstract

Critical thinking is one of the core 21st century skills, and it is vital for individuals to start mastering this skill from a young age. Socratic questioning is a systematic and disciplined string of questioning that is used to support the enhancement of critical thinking skill through the exploration of complex ideas, understanding the facts, identifying issues, examine assumptions and more. This study proposed to design critical thinking enhancement exercises for elementary school students using Socratic questioning strategy. Throughout the enhancement exercise, the study introduced Socratic questioning strategy was designed as hints to support students in completing the exercise and have deeper thoughts prior to sharing their thoughts regarding a given issue or problem. The results of the study indicated that the designed critical thinking learning sessions were effective in enhancing students' critical thinking skill. More importantly, the results also indicated that Socratic questioning strategy had provided students with a positive and significant support in the enhancement of their critical thinking skill.

运用苏格拉底式提问策略提高小学生批判性思维能力

批判性思维是21世纪的核心技能之一，对于个人来说，从小就开始掌握这项技能是至关重要的。苏格拉底式提问是一种系统的、有纪律的提问，用于通过探索复杂的思想、理解事实、识别问题、检查假设等来支持批判性思维技能的增强。本研究提出运用苏格拉底式提问策略设计小学生批判性思维训练。在整个强化练习中，研究引入了苏格拉底式提问策略作为提示，以支持学生完成练习，并在分享他们对给定问题或问题的想法之前有更深入的思考。研究结果表明，设计的批判性思维学习课程对提高学生的批判性思维能力是有效的。更重要的是，结果还表明，苏格拉底式提问策略对学生批判性思维技能的提高提供了积极而显著的支持。
