Abstract
This article explores innovative teaching strategies designed to foster critical thinking skills among primary education students. It highlights the importance of cultivating analytical, reflective, and problem-solving abilities from an early age to prepare children for complex challenges in higher education and future careers. The paper reviews various pedagogical approaches such as inquiry-based learning, collaborative activities, and the integration of technology that encourage active participation and deeper cognitive engagement. Emphasis is placed on the role of teachers as facilitators who create stimulating learning environments that nurture curiosity and independent thinking in young learners.
