In recent years,the forms of education and teaching in China have become more diversified.In the post-epidemic era,the deep integration of modern information technology and education and teaching has become an inevitable trend in education development,and online teaching,hybrid teaching,offline teaching,etc.are all mainstream teaching methods.However,in online teaching environments that lack face-to-face support or intervention from teachers,learners’ overall learning outcomes are less than satisfactory.At the same time,the importance of critical thinking has become increasingly prominent,critical thinking training is also considered to be one of the important achievements of higher education,however,the domestic teacher-based education form has led to the development level of students’ critical thinking is relatively weak,China’s higher education stage to promote the development of college students’ critical thinking has become a top priority.Therefore,this paper focuses on the theme of "How to Use Online Learning Intervention to Promote the Development of Learners’ Critical Thinking",aiming to use the online learning intervention method constructed in this paper to promote the development of critical thinking as a case study to provide reference and reference for subsequent related research.Based on the paradigm of educational design research,this study uses literature research method,measurement method,content analysis method and other research methods,and on the basis of analyzing the relevant literature of critical thinking and learning intervention,relying on the course "Principles of Information Education" and combining the characteristics of online learning,this study designs the learning intervention method that promotes the development of critical thinking.In the process of course development,the content analysis method is used to quantitatively analyze the learners’ homework,discussion and other discourse text data,and implement different levels of learning intervention according to the analysis results.Finally,Critical Thinking Grading Scale,California Critical Thinking Tendency Test Scale and California Critical Thinking Skills Test Scale were used to measure and analyze learners’ critical thinking development,and verified the effectiveness of learning interventions that promoted critical thinking development in the online learning environment.Through practice and analysis,the study mainly draws the following conclusions:First,through the comparison and analysis of the current mainstream critical thinking development path,the critical thinking development path proposed in this study is to test learners’ existing views through preset evaluation standards,find the shortcomings of critical thinking in viewpoints,and carry out targeted learning intervention to promote learners to carry out a new round of self-calibration and improvement.The study confirms that this path has an obvious role in promoting the improvement and calibration of learners’ existing critical thinking level,and can effectively achieve the purpose of promoting the development of critical thinking.Second,based on Paul’s critical thinking model and Gresham’s intervention response theory,this study constructs an online learning intervention framework that promotes the development of critical thinking.In the process of construction,by simplifying and sorting out Paul’s thinking elements and rational standards,the measurement of critical thinking has a specific operation object.Second,studies divided learning interventions into group interventions,group interventions,and individual interventions.Through the diagnosis and analysis of learners’ critical thinking development,different levels of intervention methods are adopted,so as to promote the development of learners’ critical thinking in a more targeted manner and improve the efficiency of learning intervention.Third,the study further designs online learning intervention strategies to promote the development of critical thinking based on the intervention framework.Among them,the group intervention strategy is to add corresponding answer requirements to homework and discussion boards;The group intervention strategy is to push changes to relevant groups;The individual intervention strategy is to lead the conversation with the relevant learner.Before and after the intervention,the study used professional scoring rules and test scales to conduct pre-tests and post-tests,which proved the effectiveness of online learning intervention strategies that promoted the development of critical thinking.Fourth,the research innovatively applies the "Hierarchical Intervention Model" to the research of "Promoting the Development of Critical Thinking",and verifies the feasibility of combining the two through data analysis,which provides cases and references for subsequent related research.
