Abstract

The article is concerned with the development and introduction of innovative technology into higher education curricula in order to develop skills for critical thinking among future experts. The paper aims to expose the factors that encourage students to develop critically thought at universities, in search of strategies and actualisation of student's creativity; as well as contributing to their emergence as independent beings. For teachers and students, the results of the research and the recommended methods for developing critical thinking skills can be useful.This paper explores a self-study action research project which took place within initial teacher education and focused on exploring approaches to critical thinking development.
