Meanwhile, the dominant tendencies on forming constructivist frameworks, where participatory procedures for discovering and constructing knowledge by the children are encouraged, are in contrast to the prevailing tendency mentioned above. This contradiction leads the teacher to failure, which we believe could be tackled with teacher training programs that promote critical thinking and reflective processes. The following text presents an attempt of a method application for educating adults (TLAE method) for teaching traditional university courses in Sciences Education. According to the findings of the research, the development of critical thinking skills in student teachers is evident. The example of the TLAE method application offers the possibility to enhance traditional teaching approaches with new innovative and experiential practices, while such a perspective could compensate for the inefficacies of teacher training. .  \nKey words: Critical thinking, teacher training, Transformative Learning through Aesthetic Experience method (TLAE method)  \n1. The Theoretical Framework  \nIn the last 30 years the development of Science Education, in terms of significant progress in research regarding learning and teaching natural sciences, has led to systematic revisions of science teacher training (Zeegers, 1994; Davis, 2004; Boilevin & Ravanis, 2007) . Since dominant theoretical approaches in the broader context of Science Education are influenced by constructivism or/and socioconstructivism, the orientation of basic education as well as teacher training, has shifted from a traditional preoccupation of teaching subjects such as Physics, Chemistry or Biology, to cognitive processes and teaching practices that help children of all ages shape the way of perceiving phenomena and concepts of natural sciences.  \nThis new orientation was formed gradually, facing great resistance from those who insisted on the value of teacher training programs aiming to a deeper understanding of natural sciences and laboratory teaching. This created a new awareness that moved the focus from the actual subject to the obstacles created by the children's thinking and often even by the teachers’ thinking. This new concept was toreposition major issues for education in natural sciences such as the transformation of scientific knowledge into ‘school knowledge’, the curricula, the revision of teaching practices, the role of the laboratory, the solution of problems, evaluation etc. All these efforts that are recorded internationally over the last thirty years, certainly of different intensity and form in various educational systems, have created an environment in search of recognition and autonomy associated with significant currents of humanities and social sciences, such as the branch of Psychology that deals with learning and the classic educational theoretical aspects (Ravanis, 1998, 2010; Dumas Carré, Weil-Barais, Ravanis & Shourcheh, 2003) . It goes without saying that this process was not linear, consensus and systematic. Weaknesses and contradictions for all research and development issues of Science Education, difficulties of adjusting to the framework of social sciences and divergent views, created degraded areas of theoretical reflection and research. The most important among them was the issue of the  \nteacher him/herself, who was usually treated either as a research subject or as a neutral factor whose role would be to \"transfer\" research results to the classroom.  \nHowever, such a concept is completely contrary to a constructivist fram","cbCaioU85tN9hQDy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioU85tN9hQDy","pdf",322542,"English","# Abstract\n# The Theoretical Framework\n# The transformative learning approach","[{\"question\":\"What conflict in education does the document identify?\",\"answer\":\"It contrasts teacher-as-passive-transmitter models with constructivist frameworks that promote participatory discovery and knowledge construction by children.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the document argue teacher training is needed?\",\"answer\":\"It states that the contradiction can lead to teaching failure and can be addressed through teacher training that promotes critical thinking and reflective processes.\"},{\"question\":\"What method is introduced for teaching traditional Science Education university courses?\",\"answer\":\"The document presents an adult education approach using the TLAE method (Transformative Learning through Aesthetic Experience) for course teaching and reports evidence of improved critical thinking skills.\"}]","IMPLEMENTING AN INNOVATIVE METHOD TO DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS IN STUDENT TEACHERS | PDF",1792064527,25]
