The results show that teachers perceive they are
teaching critical thinking to their students. They believe
that critical thinking will provide the intellectual stimuli
that will facilitate learning among students. They
perceive that students’ ability to explain concepts in
their own words is evidence that they were thinking
critically. However, this perception is questionable
because thinking logically and being able to problem
solve using new approaches may not be indicative of
critical thinking but may just be the process the student
undertakes to gain understanding of the material
presented.
