The aim of the current paper is to reevaluate critical thinking /CT/ and its role in education. It is much talked about in many educational circles, but the main question still remains what CT is, how we can bring it into our classrooms and make regular practice in our teaching. Proceeding from the assumption that it is often much harder to teach CT than to define, we have attempted to explain the widely used concept in the light of Paul-Elder critical thinking framework. The practical purpose of the study is to help teachers apply some of the methods and techniques proposed below, to promote CT and ensure higher quality teaching results.
