总结:<p>This study is aims to explore the barriers and potential solutions from primary school</p><p>teachers to develop critical thinking among students. Paul and Elders Critical Thinking</p><p>model was adapted, aligned with cognitive learning aspects to develop students</p><p>thinking skills. Qualitative approaches were used in this study to identify the barriers,</p><p>potential solutions to overcome the barriers, and the importance of developing primary</p><p>school critical thinkers. Six primary school teachers teaching in SJKT schools in Sentul</p><p>District Kuala Lumpur were chosen using the purposive sampling method. Three</p><p>research instruments were employed, which are interview, questionnaire and focus</p><p>group discussion. NVivo software were used to analyse the data. The findings of this</p><p>study underline five themes on the barriers to critical thinking at the primary school</p><p>level which include, (a) critical thinking in primary school, (b) problem-solving in daily</p><p>life, (c) primary school teachers teaching methods, (d) barriers to critical thinking, and</p><p>(e) enhance the knowledge. The result also showed that primary school teachers had</p><p>different thoughts and feelings about the barriers preventing them from developing</p><p>critical thinking skills among primary school students. In conclusion, even though there</p><p>are many obstacles, primary school teachers are continuously motivating themselves</p><p>by enhancing the knowledge to better their students and have more potential solutions</p><p>to overcome those barriers These findings have implications for improving the</p><p>integrations effectiveness, removing barriers to critical thinking skills, and developing</p><p>more primary school critical thinkers.</p>
