Abstract

The integration of digital technologies (DT) into educational settings has raised important questions about their role in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills (CTs). The current study investigates the impact of DT on EFL students’ CTs. Adapting a randomized experimental design, the research involved 37 secondary school students, divided into an experimental and a control group. An adapted CT assessment measured students’ CTs before and after a four-week intervention. The findings show a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group’s CTs. The study therefore calls for sustained efforts to embed technology meaningfully within EFL curricula.
