Abstract

Mobile learning apps have become powerful tools in education, offering innovative ways to enhance critical thinking skills among learners. This study examines the role of these apps in fostering analytical reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities. By analyzing various app features such as interactive simulations, gamified activities, and real-time feedback, the research explores their effectiveness in engaging students and promoting deeper learning. The study also addresses challenges, including app accessibility, varying levels of digital literacy, and the potential for over-reliance on technology. Findings suggest that well-designed mobile learning apps can significantly contribute to developing critical thinking skills, provided they are integrated thoughtfully into educational practices.
