Findings and discussion After the experiment the results were revealed. As predicted before, both experimental and control
groups scored moderately 8 points from pre and post tests for general questions. The main score of
experimental group during the pre-test was 5.5 out of 10 while for control group it was 6 out of 10. The
dramatic difference was shown after the post testing results: control group averagely scored 6.2 out of
10 while experimental group improved with 8.5 out of 10.
Conclusion This study argues that the potential of critical thinking is hindered by contextual restrictions, but
also fail to cater to the different learners for whom such strategies are intended. Diverse learners'
perspectives on effective educational techniques are included in the study. Although the data are not
definitive, it appears that training dominated by one teaching approach is ineffective in mixed ability
courses. As a result, instructors in developing countries can experiment with pedagogy to maximize
learning under challenging circumstances.
To summarize, this small-scale study raise crucial points for additional debate and investigation.
The policy implications include that there is a need for more discourse in the developing world about
subject mattered critical thinking. The research implications include that additional research is needed
to understand how instructors might employ learner-centered teaching strategies to enhance learning
across achievement gaps. Some pupils are likely to underachieve without learner-centeredness, limiting
their life opportunities and contribution to national growth.
