QUESTION 1
Using Digital Technologies to Foster Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills in
the Classroom
1. Introduction
The 21st-century classroom is defined by the integration of digital technologies that enhance
learning. However, simply using technology is not enough. Teachers must ensure that these
tools promote deeper understanding, critical engagement, and problem-solving ability.
According to Gunter and Gunter (2015), effective use of digital tools can support learner-
centered strategies that enhance higher-order cognitive skills such as analysis, evaluation,
and creation. This essay explores how digital technologies can be implemented meaningfully
to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in learners.
