Both areas call for a learning environment that is conducive to the use of collaborative group work to foster critical thinking. By employing a mixed-methods approach and undertaking a teaching intervention based on Anderson et al.¿s (2001) study, the book evaluates the effectiveness of group work in learners¿ development of critical thinking skills and mindsets.
