Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

B. Collect data on current student performance in critical thinking through observations, surveys, or assignments. — After identifying a problem, the first crucial step in action research is to gather relevant data to understand the problem in depth and establish a baseline.

Answer

A. Immediately introduce a new textbook chapter on critical thinking skills.

Answer

C. Review existing academic literature on critical thinking strategies in history education.

Answer

D. Formulate a hypothesis about the causes of poor critical thinking and design an experimental study.
