This article presents a comprehensive analysis of international experiences and best practices in developing critical thinking skills among students across various educational levels and contexts. The study examines pedagogical approaches, instructional strategies, and educational policies implemented in leading education systems worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Singapore, Finland, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Through systematic review of educational literature, policy documents, and empirical research, the article identifies key factors contributing to successful critical thinking development in different cultural and institutional contexts. The analysis reveals that effective critical thinking education requires a multifaceted approach encompassing curriculum design, teacher preparation, assessment methods, and supportive learning environments. Particular attention is given to innovative pedagogical frameworks such as inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, Socratic seminars, collaborative learning strategies, and technology-enhanced instruction. The study examines how different countries have integrated critical thinking into national curricula, established standards and benchmarks, and developed assessment tools to measure thinking skills.
