Kritičko mišljenje u odgoju i obrazovanju – trenutno stanje i perspektiva razvoja

This paper gives a systematic and critical review and presentation of the construct of critical thinking, the current state and development of critical thinking in the educational process, but also in a broader sense. Based on a detailed analysis of the literature, conclusions are drawn and recommendations are defined for improving critical thinking skills, especially pointing out the importance of organized and systematic teaching of critical thinking in schools, which constitutes an original contribution to the study of critical thinking. Advocating for the development and use of critical thinking is placed as an imperative of the educational process.
