Abstract

With the continued interest in, and school-system mandates for standard-based instruction, it is imperative that teachers have the necessary tools to ensure student success. One of the many strategies available to that end is the development of critical thinking skills, and nowhere are these skills more important than in health education. This article provides a review of the meaning and importance of critical thinking to health education and an interactive, practical strategy that uses Bloom's Taxonomy to develop these skills.
