Abstract : The integration of critical thinking skills in instructional strategies often presents numerous challenges. Nevertheless, instructional methods are among the most effective ways to teach students how to think critically. However, due to limited literature on the subject, this topic has not been explored extensively. This research paper takes a closer look at prior studies on the integration of instructional methods that improve students’ critical thinking skills. It also examines the potential outcomes of the analysed instructional methods and their future applications. This is a systematic literature review-based research, adopting the PICO framework to analyse relevant studies from 2013 to 2023. The results indicate that questioning, Socratic questioning, debate, and collaborative learning have all been utilized to
improve students’ critical thinking skills. Nonetheless, students encounter difficulties following the lesson due to their lack of language proficiency and instruction that is based on lower-order thinking skills. It is
therefore crucial to consider students’ backgrounds and learning preferences when exploring and implementing appropriate critical thinking-based instructional methods. The recommendations are not exclusive to themselves, but rather, can be applicable to each other.
