This article analyses the experience of Indonesian women Muslim activists in conducting social education through digital literacy. It focuses on Twitter as the media of digital literacy they actively employ. Responses to tweets are assessed with Anderson's taxonomic indicators (namely remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating) in order to know the cognitive level of society under the framework of social education. With regards to the notion of the Indonesian women Muslim activists, this article refers to four daughters of the late Abdurrahman Wahid, Alissa Qotrunnada, Zannuba Ariffah Chafsoh, Anita Hayatunnufus, and Inayah Wulandari, being known as social activists on religions, multiculturalism, equality, democracy, and human rights, particularly through their tweets. This paper argues that women Muslim activists play a key role in making use of digital media for leading the Indonesian Muslim community to become a critical society. Through the enhancement of the society's cognitive level, it further argues, those women Muslim activists have skillfully developed digital literacy-based social education for people's socio-political criticism.

“…10.3389/feduc.2022.956428 Moore (2013) terms it "a simple originality, " which goes beyond challenging existing ideas and knowledge to produce something new to contribute to knowledge. The students attach importance to the "ownership of their ideas" (Chen, 2017, p. 145) and the production of thinking, or more specifically, the generation of new insights (Lucas, 2019). The difference in this study is that the participants discuss the innovation of thinking at a macro level, i.e., the contribution of innovative thinking to society and the whole nation, rather than being confined to knowledge or scholarship.…”

The cultivation of critical thinking in undergraduates is crucial for teaching in higher education. Although scholars have defined critical thinking in various ways, limited study about critical thinking from the learner’s perspective. In this phenomenographic research, we collect essays written by 80 Chinese undergraduates with multiple disciplinary backgrounds to reveal their understandings of critical thinking. Four conceptions of critical thinking were found, namely critical thinking as query and reflection on the irrationality of things (Conception 1); an objective and comprehensive understanding of things (Conception 2); independent thinking with innovation (Conception 3), as well as a willingness and attitude (Conception 4). Further analysis in the light of the referential-structural framework helps to construct a hierarchical relationship between different conceptions, with Conception 1 the least complex and Conception 3 the most complex. While Conceptions 1–3 are skill-oriented, Conception 4 is deposition-oriented, and there is no hierarchical relationship between the two groups of conceptions. They deal with different dimensions of critical thinking. University lecturers can use these findings to help equip undergraduates with deepened conceptions of critical thinking in their daily routine teaching.
