However, promoting critical thinking requires specifically developed and didactically coherent concepts. This book therefore attempts to provide a philosophically and empirically sound as well as applicationoriented introduction to the concept and didactics of critical thinking. The realm of higher education is marked by a distinct emphasis on critically questioning established knowledge and practices, leading to the generation of new insights. In light of this crucial task, this book presents a comprehensive exploration of the theoretical foundations of critical thinking, coupled with practical strategies for its effective promotion. Designed to be accessible across various subjects, the introductory volume offers a low-threshold framework that can be adapted across subjects.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1484746}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-41543-3}, }
