Abstract
Critical thinking is a key educational goal for Higher Education, yet research on how it should be taught remains under scrutiny. This study evaluated an online video-based intervention focusing on fallacy identification, an important aspect of critical thinking. We explored whether Precision Teaching (PT) as an evidence-based approach to support learning would provide favourable results to promote fluency and generalisation in fallacy identification. The intervention introduced four common fallacies across two bite-sized learning episodes to 57 university students to enhance engagement. All participants showed improvements in fallacy identification, with those who received PT training performing better in the domain-general fallacy-identification assessment post-intervention than the control group.
