Abstract
Although critical thinking cannot be developed only in a specific subject or a specific unit, there have been few studies on developing critical thinking through cross-curricular learning. Therefore, this paper aims to develop learning activities to realize cross-curricular learning for the development of critical thinking. As a result, we developed a teaching material, “The difference between “0” (Rei) and “0” (Zero),” and developed learning activities using it. The developed learning activities were to be implemented in four hours of classes, mainly in Japanese language, home economics, and English, and cross-curricular learning activities were set up. We also set up all the specific learning activities for fostering critical thinking, such as critical reading, discussion, report writing, and group activities, which have been proposed in previous studies. From the above, we developed cross-curricular learning activities that are expected to foster critical thinking through the teaching material “The difference between “0” (Rei) and “0” (Zero).”
