Fostering Students' Critical Thinking Skills through Philosophy for Children (P4C)

Abstract

Critical thinking is one of the skills that each individual must have, especially when facing the increasingly rapid development of the era. This skill should be instilled in primary education. To answer this challenge, various strategies can be used to develop this skill, one of which is Philosophy for Children (P4C). This study aims to analyze the use of P4C in various countries and strategies for conducting the P4C. This study is an initial step in offering P4C using the literature review method. The study results show that P4C can be effectively implemented in several countries and has even been included in the national curriculum. Therefore, the study provides educators and stakeholders insight into the P4C program.
