Abstract

The purposes of this article were as follows: 1) To create an understanding on critical
thinking teaching in the learning process of the 21st century, 2) To create an understanding on
critical thinking teaching in assessments for development of the 21st century. In the past most
students were most likely receivers and did not possess critical thinking skills in many aspects.
Even though teaching and learning process has been encouraged as student-centered approach,
Thailand has still faced a problem of lacking critical thinking skills for student. For example,
Thai students lack creative thinking to develop their own innovation. Some people can create
innovation but cannot seek any methods to develop it for public use or to be acceptable in
international levels. Consequently, Thailand has to regularly rely on other countries’ innovation.
Critical thinking teaching plays a major role in the 21st century learning process and can be applied
to assessment for development. Then, understanding about the two processes is considered
a complete teaching process in the 21st century
