However, depending solely on the Facebook medium without proper design learning activities do not guarantee active learning among students.

The results showed that, apparently, High critical thinking group emerged thinking pattern which progressing from lower to higher order thinking processes which are very crucial in shaping their thinking to the higher levels. Additionally, by asking students' prior knowledge and understanding frequently can help students to gain greater understanding of the topic and further initiate their higher level of critical thinking. |
