Investigating Moroccan EFL Doctoral Students’ Perceptions of Critical Thinking as a Research Skill

Author(s) Drissia OUNNICH
Country Morocco
Abstract The past few decades have seen a growing recognition of the importance of critical thinking as a crucial soft skill. Accordingly, its cultivation in education, more precisely at the tertiary level, is today widely endorsed. Yet, a body of research has shown that doctoral students display poor critical thinking skills. Adopting a qualitative approach and a case study design, the present study aims to investigate Moroccan EFL doctoral students’ perceptions of critical thinking as a research skill. Hence, semi-structured interviews and focus groups are used to gather data from 15 EFL doctoral students in the context of The Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Moulay Ismail University of Meknes. Inductive thematic analysis has yielded compelling issues that are grounded in students’ engagement in analytical activities and the quality of teaching they have received. The study adds to the literature on critical thinking, provides input towards pedagogical implications for research and teaching, and recommends future directions as well.
