Investigations were conducted to both the faculty and the student. Education and qualitative requirements of teachers were more important and fundamental than relying on formal methodology such as core curriculum, to introduce actively critical thinking into classes. Teachers' questioning, recitation and showing related cases were deemed effective even without new knowledge, to encourage students' critical thinking. The remote-testing system that we suggested received a positive reputation from more than half of the students, even though some students felt the anxiety and the technical limitations.
The author summarized teaching critical thinking materials for teachers as a book. In addition, the author also arranged another text book to which students put together a collection of examples for other students to understand critical thinking. Taking advantage of knowledge obtained, the author's group has developed a card game "Naze Naze Carta", animation screen and web-teaching materials.
