The study emphasises critical thinking's role in student intellectual progress and flexibility. Students must think critically to assess information, examine several perspectives, and make educated decisions in an ever-changing educational environment. Critical thinking in the classroom can improve student learning and prepare them for future challenges. This paper gives a complete foundation for applying this method. Due to the rising complexity of the world's concerns, critical thinking education is needed more than ever. Critical thinking may transform the classroom, creating well-versed, creative, and ethically upright students. This study aims to demonstrate how critical thinking can do this. Critical thinking is essential in science, technology, the humanities, and the social sciences. This study emphasises critical thinking in 21st-century education to contribute to the discussion about instructional practices and curriculum development. This study found that encouraging critical thinking in the classroom may help students become more engaged, thoughtful, and active learners. Educational institutions are increasingly emphasising critical thinking to prepare students for a dynamic and unpredictable world. The students and society will gain from this positive effect.</em></p> CHANDRAMOULESH G K Copyright (c) 2025 CHANDRAMOULESH G K https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 5 1 1 11 10.54756/IJSAR.2025.1
