Critical Thinking in a Collaborative Learning Environment

Schools need to develop critical thinkers who are learning collaboratively alongside their peers and teachers. With the support of their community, nonacademic values need to be stressed outside the classroom, where students actively engage in social activities to develop their community and increase the value in their education. Combining these two skills and adding the dimension of digital learning and sharing in a global society are critical to meaningful, student-centered learning in education today.
