Abstract
Teaching students critical thinking is a basic characteristic of most higher education while the skill has a range of impacts on graduates’ academic, professional and personal capacities. As students become critical thinkers, they are better prepared to develop a successful professional career and play a role as democratic citizens. Despite the educational reforms that have been undertaken in Egypt and the wider Arab world over the last two decades, changes intended to reduce rote learning and memorization and enhance instructors’ skills to promote critical thinking skills and active learning, most students in the Arab world still lack these same skills. The purpose of this study is to investigate how teaching at an international university in Egypt fosters the learning and practice of critical thinking.
