Named after the Science Education and Competences (Enseñanza de las Ciencias y Competencias, ENCIC) research group at the University of Malaga, Spain, this model emphasizes cultivating CT through socio-scientific issues and daily-life problems. It includes three key domains: knowledge, skills, and dispositions, each encompassing various dimensions addressed through scientific practices like argumentation, inquiry, and modeling. Teaching strategies such as gamification, role-playing, micro-debates, augmented reality, controversy mapping, and digital storytelling are highlighted. Spanning theoretical perspectives and practical experiences from early childhood to higher education, this book consolidates findings from the Spanish R\u0026amp;D project, “Citizens with Critical Thinking: A Challenge for Teachers in Science Education.” It is an essential resource for educators, researchers, and practitioners, offering valuable insights and practical applications for all educational levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntonio Joaquín Franco-Mariscal is a science education professor at the University of Malaga, Spain.
