Developing a problem-solving learning program to improve critical literacy in social welfare education

本研究以社会福利教育为研究对象，结合批判性思维，开发了一套解决问题的学习计划，并在五个示范课程中考虑了学习效果和课程的有效性。课程的总体结构由六个步骤组成。我们观察到学生们在所有的课程中都加深了他们的学习，独立学习。因此，结合批判性思维的问题解决学习计划得到了验证。然而，在步骤3（选择信息和识别问题）和步骤4（考虑解决方案）中需要改进程序，以促进以学生为中心的批判性思维。

This study developed a problem-solving learning program incorporating critical thinking in social welfare education, considering learning effects and the efficacy of lessons in five model lessons. The general structure of the lessons consists of six steps. We observed that the students deepened their study and studied independently in all of the lessons. Thus, the problem-solving learning program incorporating critical thinking was validated. However, improvement of the program is required in Step 3 (selection of information and identification of a problem) and Step 4 (consideration of a solution), in order to promote student-centered critical thinking.
