Given the qualitative nature of the present study, the method of collecting information was library-documentary. The findings showed that the core of critical thinking is cognitive skills, which, with the dominance of the traditionalist meta-view of the possibility of educating and developing critical thinking in students due to the creation of a centralized system, leads to the central role of the teacher in the classroom and the student is completely passive and does not pay attention to cognitive and meta-cognitive skills.Therefore, the curriculum needs to be reviewed and meta-perspectives taken into account for designing and compiling the curriculum, especially in the elementary grades. Therefore, the results of the present study showed that in order to achieve the ultimate goal of raising people who are able to cope with the current complex life and world, it is necessary to teach critical thinking to students from the very elementary grades;Because critical thinking is one of the essential factors in the growth and production of science, the existence of a space for criticism and thinking in scientific and research centers, the prevention of non-specialists in scientific circles, the vitality, vitality and dynamism of schools, the provision of a better environment for in-depth education and learning of students, and the encouragement of students, elites and competent people to the field of innovation play a significant role.
