Abstract

Both critical thinking and knowledge management (KM) skills are regarded as important elements for a university student’s success. This study therefore developed a blended KM-based training program to cultivate university students’ critical-thinking skills. A 17-week training program was conducted to achieve the research goals in this study. The findings suggest that scaffolding university students through knowledge sharing, internalization, and creation processes in a blended KM environment can effectively enhance university students’ critical-thinking skills.
