In this study, we rigorously address the critical problem of enhancing critical thinking skills among higher education students through English language instruction. Our research is grounded in empirical investigation and informed by contemporary pedagogical theories, aiming to achieve the seven objectives outlined in the article's purpose. [7]

Examination of existing challenges. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and deficiencies in the development of critical thinking skills among higher education students. (1023 persons were interviewed) Through surveys, interviews, and academic performance assessments, we identified specific areas where students faced obstacles in critical thinking.

Scientific Result. Our analysis revealed that a significant proportion of students (73,2%) lacked foundational critical thinking skills, particularly in the domains of logical reasoning and information synthesis.

Evaluation of current pedagogical practices. To assess the efficacy of existing pedagogical methodologies, we reviewed and critiqued various instructional approaches used in English language classes within higher education. We examined their alignment with critical thinking skill development.

Scientific Result. Our evaluation highlighted that while some pedagogical methods promoted critical thinking, a substantial portion of instruction focused on language acquisition rather than cognitive skill development.

Development of innovative strategies. Building upon the insights gained from the challenges and evaluations, we developed innovative pedagogical strategies rooted in educational theory and evidence-based practices. They are Flipped Classroom Model, Project-Based Learning (PBL), Collaborative Learning, Inquiry-Based Learning, Differentiated Instruction, Gamification and Educational Gaming, Blended Learning, Metacognitive Strategies, Culturally Responsive Teaching, Problem-based and Case-based Learning and Service-Learning. [8] These strategies were tailored to address the specific deficiencies identified.

Scientific Result. Our newly devised pedagogical interventions demonstrated a statistically significant improvement (71%) in students' critical thinking skills compared to traditional methods, as evidenced by pre- and post-assessment data.

Establishment of measurable outcomes. To gauge the effectiveness of our interventions, we established clear and quantifiable learning outcomes and assessment criteria. We designed assessment tools to measure the development of critical thinking skills. Here are some examples of such tools:

S Rubrics. Rubrics are scoring guides used to evaluate the quality of students' constructed responses. A rubric for critical thinking would include criteria such as clarity, accuracy, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, significance, and fairness.

S Pre- and post-tests. These are assessments given before and after the intervention to measure the improvement in students' critical thinking skills. The tests can include problem-solving tasks, analytical writing prompts, and case analyses.

S Portfolios. A collection of students' work over time can provide insights into their development in critical thinking. Portfolios may include essays, research projects, case study analyses, and reflective writing pieces.

S Self-assessment questionnaires. These tools allow students to reflect on their own learning and thinking processes. Questionnaires can include items about students' perception of their critical thinking skills and their ability to apply these skills in various scenarios.

S Case study analyses. Specific case studies relevant to the course material can be used to assess students' ability to apply critical thinking skills to real-world scenarios. Students' analyses of these cases can demonstrate their ability to identify key issues, evaluate different perspectives, and formulate well-reasoned conclusions.

S Reflective writing assignments. Assignments that require students to reflect on their learning experiences, challenges, and growth in critical thinking can provide qualitative data on their development.

S Peer assessment. Involving students in the assessment process can help them understand and apply critical thinking criteria more deeply. Peer assessments can be used in group projects, presentations, or discussions.

S Simulation and role-playing exercises. These exercises put students in scenarios where they must apply critical thinking skills. Students' performances in these exercises can be assessed to gauge their proficiency in critical thinking.

S Concept maps. Students can create visual representations of their understanding of a concept, topic, or problem. Concept maps can reveal the depth and complexity of students' understanding and their ability to make connections between ideas.

S Standardized critical thinking tests. Tests such as the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal or the Cornell Critical Thinking Test can be used as standardized measures of critical thinking ability.

Scientific Result. The assessment data indicated substantial progress (83%) in critical thinking skills, with students achieving the established learning outcomes in logical analysis, argumentation, and evidence evaluation. [9]
