Contributions to the definition of a critical technology. The project

This volume aims at solving the implicit
meaning that in the title relates the adjective
critical to the term technology, supporting
a reflection which could throw light also
on the value of innovation in education.
Describing, then, the results of a research,
whose main objective was that of verifying
if higher education students’ critical thinking
skills can be increased, thanks to cultural
insights carried out on line, we mean to
value the need for educational research,
which is an essential condition to develop
quality in teaching and learning and in
higher education teaching and learning
in particular.
