Abstract

Critical thinking is increasingly recognized as a vital skill for young learners in the twenty-first century. This qualitative case study investigated how online educational games fostered critical thinking in an eight-year-old English learner. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and screen recordings, and were analyzed thematically using Facione’s framework. The results indicate that game-based tasks activated several dimensions of critical thinking, particularly interpretation, analysis, inference, and evaluation, through interactive and meaningful engagement. The study also highlights the important role of adult scaffolding in supporting learners’ questioning, clarification, and reflective decision-making during gameplay. These scaffolds enabled the learner to connect prior schemas with new information and refine decisions. The study offers preliminary insights into how critical thinking in young learners may be understood from both cognitive and sociocultural perspectives within digital learning environments. In practice, the findings suggest that online educational games can support the development of critical thinking when accompanied by appropriate facilitation by teachers or parents. However, the study is limited by its single-case design; therefore, future research is recommended to investigate digital game-based learning and critical thinking across broader groups of participants and educational contexts.

Abstract

This comparative study investigates in-class assessment practices among secondary school EFL teachers in Uganda and Indonesia, guided by Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory of learning. The study explores commonly used assessment strategies, teachers’ perceptions of their effectiveness, and the key implementation challenges in both countries. A quantitative research design was employed, and data were collected from 120 EFL teachers (60 from each country) using structured questionnaires with Likert-scale and multiple-choice items. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses including means, standard deviations, and independent t-tests were conducted. The findings revealed significant differences in assessment approaches: Ugandan teachers predominantly used traditional techniques such as quizzes and oral questioning, while Indonesian teachers more frequently employed interactive, collaborative methods like peer assessment and project-based learning. Aligned with Vygotsky’s emphasis on social interaction and scaffolding, Indonesian teachers demonstrated higher assessment literacy and greater engagement with formative practices. Nevertheless, educators in both contexts recognized the value of in-class assessment in supporting language development and learner engagement. Shared challenges included large class sizes, limited time, and inadequate resources. Based on the findings, the study recommends culturally responsive professional development, structural policy reforms, increased investment in infrastructure, and cross-national collaboration. These steps aim to foster inclusive, dialogic assessment practices aligned with Vygotsky's principles in diverse EFL classrooms
