The efficiency of higher education in teaching students to think critically is debatable as most institutions treat these skills in isolation from the rest of educational goals. This paper explored a holistic approach to enhancing critical thinking across the curriculum. It involves the promotion of learners’ epistemological beliefs. The study explored a potential causal relationship between critical thinking skills and epistemological beliefs among undergraduates at the Department of English at Khenchela University, Algeria. In a quasi-experimental design, sophomores received a two-semester treatment instruction designed to promote their critical thinking skills. These latter were tested in pre-and post-tests to evaluate the effect of the course. T-test results revealed a significant change in the experimental group’s post-test means as compared to their critical thinking pre-tests.enArticle
