The effectiveness of blended learning on students' critical thinking skills in mathematics education: A literature review

Abstract

Critical thinking skills (CTS) is one of the required competencies in the 21st century. Using technology in this era is a common thing including in education. One of the learning methods assisted by technology is blended learning. In this study, the effectiveness of blended learning on students' CTS will be analyzed. The method used in this study was a literature review. There were view steps to investigate the effectiveness of blended learning on students' CTS namely providing the definition of blended learning, finding information about essential elements in blended learning, then synthesizing some previous studies on the implementation of the method to improve students' CTS and connecting the studies with blended learning. Based on the literature review result, the implementation of blended learning in Mathematics had the potential to improve students' CTS. This study could provide an overview of the problems and opportunities to implement blended learning in schools.
