Nowadays implementation of critical thinking skills in teaching and learning is considered one of the Arabic language teachers' tasks due to its high position in foreign language classrooms. In the context of Arabic teachers, the most important competence is the mastery of critical thinking skills in teaching and learning activities. Therefore, the aims of this study are to identify the level of competence of Arabic teachers in implementing the critical thinking skills in their teaching. A total of 30 Arabic teachers from secondary schools in Malaysia had answered survey comprising of 12 items from the sub-constructs of critical thinking skills. The quantitative data of the survey were analysed descriptively using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22.0 to present the frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that Arabic language teachers have a moderately low level of critical thinking skills (Mean = 3.96; SD = 0.462). The data also highlighted that these Arabic teachers have not yet mastered the ability to make inferences, as evidenced by the skill's low mean score. It can be concluded form the study that teachers who come from various backgrounds and various educational levels showed the ability to think critically. This is due to their prior exposure to critical thinking skills in the classroom. The findings of this study indicate that Arabic teachers should develop critical thinking skills in order to be able to apply and develop this skill in their teaching activities. Furthermore, it offers a number of initiatives to improve teachers' knowledge and skills in infusing critical thinking in Arabic teaching as a
Critical Thinking among Al-Balqa Applied University Students
Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2020
Critical thinking is a central part of our daily life. It has great importance in immunizing the individual against the vast amount of information, events, and situations that the individual deals with and faces. This study aimed at identifying differences in critical thinking according to different variables. The variables were specializations (scientific, literary), gender (male, female), the Grade Point Average (GPA) and the scores of Jordanian high school national exam (Tawjiji) to predict critical thinking skills. This quantitative study used the descriptive approach by applying Watson's and Glasser's [16] critical thinking appraisal short form transferred to Arabic by Alotaibi [7]. This study was applied to a sample comprising (216) students from Ajloun University College, affiliated with Al-Balqa Applied University, students in Jordan. The results indicated that the study sample had high levels of critical thinking of sub-skills and a high level in critical thinking as for the total scores. There were statistically significant differences in all critical thinking of sub-skills according to specializations in favour of the scientific stream. Besides, there were statistically significant differences in all critical thinking skills according to gender in favour of males. Also, critical thinking could be predicted by the degree of the national examination for high school in Jordan (Tawjiji) but not by Grade Point Average (GPA). The differences in critical thinking between students of scientific streams and literary ones may refer to the difference in school curricula. The scientific courses focus on critical thinking skills more than literary ones. Therefore, it was important to include critical thinking skills in school curricula since critical thinking skills are very important in an individual's success both in study and life.

This study investigates the impact of critical thinking in improving students' learning and how it is important to think critically in the learning process. Improving the ability to think critically is an important element for modern education approaches and models. This study aims to provide a framework on the concept of thinking critically while teaching or learning. The world is getting both more technical and more complex day by day life environment, that's why the necessity for education increases for each growing generation. The skill of thinking critically is generally accepted as a very vital stage in every field of learning, particularly in the last decades. As a study draws a general suggestion on the importance of critical thinking skills. The study found out that: first, Students' performance was different in the post-test (after experiment) when it is compared with students' performance in the pre-test (before experiment). Second, the learning motivation of the experimental group and the control group was also different. Third, there was no difference in Critical thinking skills influenced by the interaction of learning models. Forth, Students have developed better critical thinking skills due to their abilities to negotiate and analyze critically. A well, the study recommended that: 1) critical thinking should be given and taught as a main daily activity within learning process. 2) earners should be exposed to intensive tasks that motivate and enhance critical thinking skills.
Education as a phenomenon is closely related to Islam and has a direct impact on the development of traditional religious education in the Muslim world. Acquiring and transferring knowledge in education cannot be separated from this determinative point of view. Thisideal educational situation is important in Islamic history and needs to be scrutinized further according to levels and types of critical thinking found in this education system. This paper presents a research that focuses on a method applied in the teaching of Risalah Masail al Muhtadi li Ikhwanil Mubtadi, a text written by Shaikh Daud bin Ismail bin Mustafa Rumî and its relation with the development of critical thinking. This manuscript has been taught as the standard text and has been in existence for the last 250 years. It is widely used in pesantren, the traditional religious education centers in the Malay world. There is a unique relationship between this classical book and the concept of critical thinking in the teaching-learning method which appears to be anachronic. In spite of its importance in the Islamic education, there should be considerations with regards to the extent of how this classical course material is salient and vital for critical thinking, and due to this reason, the research focussed on the method used for teaching the abovementioned text. The argument is that, in the pesantren, this risalah or text does stimulate the mind through the use of critical thinking to achieve a higher level of understanding as part of the education system. This study is an attempt to discover : (1) whether pesantren education is really and simply based on the indoctrination of reliance on students’ memorization skills or these are the steps in a bottom up education process that encompasses critical thinking and problem solving, and (2) whether pesantren education provides some form of a methodological approach in relation to knowledge acquisition at varying levels and if it is specifically tailored for students from different age groups. Key Words: Malay education, critical thinking, Baba Daud.
