This textbook is a practical and theoretical teacher guide on how to develop critical thinking and source criticism in contemporary elementary and secondary education, which requires students to develop their critical thinking from different perspectives as well as to develop their ability to critically evaluate sources they use for school-related work. What can a teacher do to support such development? The authors discuss several different perspectives on how one, as a teacher, can think about and work with source criticism together with the students. In the first part of the book a theoretical background and a principled discussion of critical thinking are discussed. This includes psychological and philosophical perspectives on source criticism. In the second part there are concrete teaching examples and tips on how to work with source criticism in both primary and secondary school.

This book is aimed at teachers who teach source criticism in various contexts. The book addresses both explicit teaching content and overarching goals related to students critical thinking in general. There is a lot of Swedish and international literature on source criticism and critical thinking, but much less on different perspectives on how to work with this from a teachers perspective. This book is intended to fill such a need for both practicing teachers at various levels and teacher students.
The book is divided into two separate parts that are intended to serve partly different functions. Stefan Ekecrantz has had the main responsibility for part 1. This part discusses more fundamental issues related to source criticism and critical thinking, with separate chapters on, for example, how to understand students (and teachers) resistance to critical thinking from a psychological perspective. In addition, philosophical perspectives on normative values are discussed along with a concluding comment on further reading. Part 1 is structured as a kind of dialogue with the reader, a type of dialogue that the reader can use as inspiration for discussions with his or her own pupils or students.
Anna Rosenqvist has had the main responsibility for part 2. This part is built around concrete examples of lesson plans and practical didactic choices. It is divided into nine different areas, and a short introduction to each chapter is followed by suggestions for lesson plans from pre-school to upper secondary school. The idea is that teachers will be able to find inspiration for their own teaching and make their own adaptations to other age groups and other subjects where necessary.
In March 2018, 61-year-old trucker and stuntman Mad Mike Hughes shot himself up in a homemade rocket in the Mojave Desert. Incredibly, he survived the journey 572 m into the air and, after a hard parachute landing, was able to declare that he had convinced all the pessimists who had predicted his demise. However, it was not just a general daredevil nature and rocket interest that motivated him. Hughes planned to continue to develop the rocket project so that, in time, he could get high enough to see with his own eyes whether the Earth was spherical or flat. He said he thought the most likely scenario was that it is flat as a pancake, but he was not 100 percent sure and wanted to get to the bottom of what was going on.
In the time between this book's two latest editions, Hughes sadly fell to his death when his rocket crashed in February 2020, near Barstow, California. Unfortunately, what was initially meant as a tongue-in-cheek illustration of lack of critical thinking in this text turned into a true human tragedy. But, beyond Hughes as an individual, the last couple of decades have shown a sharp uptick in beliefs in a flat Earth, which relates to this book's topic, albeit as an extreme regarding critical thinking and lack thereof.
Eratosthenes (276194 BC) proved that the Earth was round and estimated its size with astonishing precision. He did so by comparing the angles of shadows at different distant locations, an experiment that, incidentally, a teacher can replicate quite easily with their schoolchildren today (Longhorn & Hughes, ).
As over 2,000 years of accumulated observations and scientific calculations are not enough for Flat Earthers today, we may need to try and understand their underlying reasoning in terms of a specific perception of critical thinking. They evidently think critically about round Earth and have subjected oceans of information about the somewhat spherical shape of the planet to some critical scrutiny and then have landed in a sceptical view. Would that be enough to claim that they have engaged in critical thinking in any meaningful sense of the concept? Most people would probably not think so. Have they subjected the same scrutiny to far less convincing information about the flatness of the Earth now being disseminated on YouTube and elsewhere?
