Abstract

Critical thinking is a vital piece of learning in the 21st century. Critical thinking skills cannot be grasped instantly; to be able to think critically, someone requires a protracted process. Therefore, teaching critical thinking skills in primary schools is essential. Thus, the teacher as the one who is responsible for teaching students at school must have a deep understanding about critical thinking. This study aims to define primary school teachers’ understanding of critical thinking. A qualitative approach with the phenomenological method was used in this study. Participants in this study were 8 primary school teachers in Indonesia who came from Bandung and Yogyakarta. Data collection was brought using in-depth interviews. Data analysis was taken using Miles & Huberman model. Data analysis was collected about primary school teachers’ understanding of critical thinking, the importance of critical thinking, teaching critical thinking to primary school students, and measuring critical thinking abilities. The results show that although teachers know the significance of teaching critical thinking, their knowledge and capability to think critically could be better.
