Abstract

In this era of information explosion, critical thinking has become essential for college students to adapt to society. For college students, critical thinking can not only help them better understand and master knowledge but also improve their innovation and problem-solving abilities. However, effectively cultivating critical thinking among college students is a significant challenge. In recent years, blended learning, as a new teaching model, has provided new possibilities for cultivating critical thinking among college students. Universities can adopt diversified teaching methods, provide abundant learning resources, establish effective feedback mechanisms, and cultivate the self-learning ability of college students. This helps cultivate critical thinking among college students and promotes comprehensive development.
