Knowledge, skills, and attitudes of teachers in training critical thinking of elementary school students
Open accessAbstract
Knowledge, skills, and attitudes of teachers in developing critical thinking skills are very much needed to train students' basic thinking skills. This descriptive quantitative study described the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of teachers in developing critical thinking skills in elementary school students. The data collection employed a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The questionnaire was distributed online using Google Form during teacher professional development training. Respondents in this study were 366 elementary school teachers spread across 23 provinces in Indonesia. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. The results of this study indicated the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of teachers in developing critical thinking in elementary school students are a good category. Description knowledge, skills, and attitudes of a good teacher impact the designed learning process. However, this study only described teachers' knowledge, skills, and attitudes in developing critical thinking skills, which the basis for implementing learning in elementary schools. The application of critical thinking learning by elementary school teachers can be used for further research.

LLM-based critical thinking training programs significantly improved students' critical thinking abilities.
“Suratmi and Sopandi (2022) reported significant improvements in the critical thinking abilities of Nigerian secondary school students who participated in an LLM-based critical thinking training program.”

The Research Method section describes a questionnaire study of elementary-school teachers, not a training program involving students. The Conclusion states that the study only describes teachers’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes and leaves implementation for future research. It therefore does not report significant improvements among Nigerian secondary-school students from an LLM-based program. (LLM, conf=0.90)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe development of critical thinking skills through the use of LLMs, as observed in this study, is consistent with the findings of Suratmi and Sopandi (2022) and Snyder and Wiles (2015), who reported significant improvements in students' critical thinking abilities following LLM-based training programs and collaborative learning interventions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
