Developing of critical thinking in teacher education for inclusive school

Authors aimed to identify the qualities of critical thinking of future teachers for inclusive school as well as the methods by which students come to realise them and to analyse practical aspects of education of critical thinking in the process of teacher training. The subject of the investigation was elements of critical thinking of future teachers (postgraduates) for inclusive school. The official and local (University) documents defining main issues for the education of critical thinking have been analysed and reality of students’ competence to learn in reflective way has been described. The analysis showed high quality of theoretical statements for the education of students’ critical thinking during all process of studies, so we can conclude that theoretical methodological part of teacher training is appropriate for the education of critical thinking, but the practical realisation of this issue is still problematic (difficulties analysing a problem in a reflective way etc.)Šiaulių universiteta
