Summary/Abstract: Critical thinking tends to be seen more than a competence for adaptation. It is one of the most important meta-competences for future society. This study addresses two research questions: What kind of educational strategies are necessary for developing critical thinking skills?How can teachers develop students’ critical thinking competences?The goal of this study: to identify the adequate strategy for developing critical thinking as a 21st century competence. This study involved a longitudinal research for a period of five years (2014-2019) and included 300 participants (students and teachers). For developing critical thinking as a meta-competence all teachers have to use the transformative pedagogical strategy in their daily practice.
