Research Trends in Korea on Critical Thinking Education and Lessons

방선희

The importance of critical thinking has long been emphasized in education. This study attempts to examine the trends in Korean research so far on this subject and to present the current state of critical thinking education and future research proposals. For this, 114 papers related to critical thinking published for 12 years from 2000 to 2011 were analyzed and the collected materials were analyzed according to five standards such as the research subjects, research theme, research methodology, the environment in which research took place and the fields on which research was carried out. The study presents the results together with the future direction for research on critical thinking education. This study has found out, first, that research on critical thinking education for various age groups from primary school to universities is being carried out. Accordingly, more research on critical thinking education reflecting the characteristics of each age group and school system is necessary. Second, studies organizing the definition and concepts, teaching methodologies and class models for critical thinking education were most prevalent. In particular, much research has been carried out on proposing special teaching methodologies to foster the ability to critically think. As such, more research verifying quantitatively and qualitatively the studies so far carried out on critical thinking is necessary. Before presenting teaching methodologies, a consideration of the distinctive characteristics of the fields is necessary. Third, more research should be carried out on evaluation tools to measure the achievements of critical thinking education and the critical thinking trends. Fourth, research so far on critical thinking education has mostly been focused on off-line education and as such, more research needs to be carried out on on-line education for critical thinking. Fifth, various subjects have shown the need for critical thinking education. Therefore, the purpose of critical thinking education by subject should be surveyed and the distinctive characteristics of each field should be reflected when discussing teaching methodologies for critical thinking.
