Developing Critical Thinking Skills for Students at Political Schools in the Mekong Delta Region, Vietnam, in the Digital Era

Abstract

The goal of modern education is to develop global citizens who are capable of mastering and solving problems, particularly through critical thinking skills. This study was conducted with 545 lecturers and students from political schools in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, aiming to assess the current state and feasibility of solutions to develop critical thinking. The research method includes dialectical and historical materialism, combined with statistical analysis techniques and sociological surveys. The results show that, in recent years, students' critical thinking skills have improved significantly. Students are increasingly aware of critical thinking as an essential skill, helping them think flexibly and solve problems independently and creatively. However, there are still many challenges in ensuring that all students have the opportunity to develop this skill, which requires specific strategies and curriculum improvements to achieve better results.
