Résumé:
Critical thinking has recently become one of the most discussed topics in educational process.
It is a skill that learners need in order to be able to think reasonably and analyze facts to
understand a problem or a topic easily from different perceptions. Learners need this skill
because of its great importance. However, most of them still use the lower order thinking
rather than the higher order thinking skills. Teachers and learners use different types of
feedback to promote this skill .Therefore, this study aims to explore teachers’ and pupils’
perceptions towards promoting learners’ critical thinking through self/peer feedback at Ben
Jmil Abed EL Hamid middle school; Guelma province. To reach that aim a descriptive
quantitative method will be used through the use of two structured questionnaires for 98 third
year pupils’ of Ben Jmil Abd ElHamid middle school and 49 middle school teachers of
English in Guelma from district one. To sum up the findings revealed that both teachers and
pupils confirmed the importance of using self/peer feedback to promote learners critical
thinking. In addition, both of them have positive attitudes towards using these techniques in
the enhancement of learners’ critical thinking.
