DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS THROUGH SELF-STUDY

Abstract

This article explores the role of self-study in fostering critical thinking skills. Self-study, as an autonomous learning method, encourages learners to independently engage with material, analyze information, and form reasoned conclusions. The focus here is on how self-study provides a conducive environment for the development of critical thinking by promoting reflective thinking, problem-solving, and independent learning strategies. The article outlines key approaches and techniques within self-study that enhance critical thinking and explains the long-term benefits of mastering these skills.
