Critical thinking is regarded as one of the most essential skills of the 21st century, especially in the field of education. The changing demands of contemporary society, the rapid evolution of technology, and the growing complexity of knowledge have intensified the importance of developing critical thinking among future primary school teachers. As primary school teachers are tasked not only with imparting basic academic knowledge but also with shaping the cognitive, social, and emotional development of children, their ability to think critically becomes a fundamental prerequisite for effective pedagogy, curriculum development, and holistic student guidance.
