Incorporating critical thinking in the pedagogical content of a teacher education programme: does it make a difference?

The importance of teaching CT has been raised in teacher education programmes because students are supposed to teach this skill in schools in the future. This study therefore assesses the effects of a CT-based pedagogical course on student teachers' content knowledge and CT disposition. A pre-...
