is considered to be the creator of modern critical thinking . The philosopher was the first one to actually question reality by going around asking people questions related to their daily lives and their assumptions . We know of this socratic method in our way of teaching .

John Dewey ( 1859 - 1952 ) and A . S . Neill ( 1908 - 1984 ) were against the schools teaching children in a manner and favoured the students' thinking and the questioning of the status quo

Sylvia Ashton - Warner ( 1908 - 1984 ) between 1940 and 1950 developed her own method of learning where children instead of using standardised books worked with materials that were related to their lives , which improved their understanding of the topics .
According to the hierarchy established by Benjamin Bloom ( 1913 - 1999 ) , students were expected to remember , to create , to , to apply , to analyze and to , in that order ( from basic to complex ) .

JJ Wilson ( 2020 ) argues that teaching critical thinking is to question , explore and engage with ideas . It is an approach that requires - to reflect on different aspects of life inside and outside the classroom .
The is closely related to this theory . According to Wilson ( 2020 ) , a " truly " communicative approach is based on tasks , topics to debate , problem - solving activities , imagining , etc . He claims that " a communicative approach envisions students as , histories , cultures and world views " ( p . 53 ) .

A key implication for teaching is that should encourage students to think critically through .
Paulo Freire advances the concept of , arguing that education begins with students ? experiences and can either reinforce or challenge the status quo .
Education is fundamentally " the , " achieved through dialogue , problem - posing , and critical .
A truly requires tasks that give students something substantive to talk about .

JJ Wilson mentions some examples of problem solving like : where there are scenarios exercises of hypothetical situations which require decision making ; which consist of situations that force people into making difficult choices ; Real world problems which are divided in two , and . The first one is related to , such as problems in relationships or with your neighbours . The second one , global , these are , which is the reason why they can be in the language classroom .
