College students in six reading classes participated in a study that observed how they develop the habit of thinking critically using textbooks with activities based on Bloom’s taxonomy. Students’ reflective reports and the course-end questionnaire show that over 70% experienced the usefulness of critical thinking (CT) activities, and more than half of them claimed they recognized their elevated habit of thinking critically. Students in large classes suggested individual reflective writing is more meaningful than group activities.
