“…Normative thinking competencies promoted by these studies include the ability to question assumptions and beliefs that inform texts (Valdez, Ugalingan & Garinto, 2022 ), examine the power dynamics implied in the way texts give or suppress voices and promote biases (Schildhauer, Gerlach & Weiser-Zurmühlen, 2023;O'Byrne, Crandall, Dail, Goering, Mora, Price-Dennis, & Witte, 2022), and also examine the ideological, political, and individual contexts that situate the structure, information, and intention of texts (Janusz, 2022;Molin & Godhe, 2020;Khasbani, 2018;Ostenson & Silva, 2019). Critical thinking competencies suggested in these CDL frameworks insist on familiarizing students with multimodal texts in the contexts of both production and reception (Kustini, Suherdi, & Musthafa, 2020;Reinhardt & Thorne, 2019;Mustifa & Lestari, 2023;Molin & Godhe, 2020), empowering learners to identify and filter the nature of information obtained from online medium (Nguyen, Chambers, & Abbott, 2022;Ostenson & Silva, 2019), and developing their abilities to analyse and evaluate factual (Schildhauer, Gerlach & Weiser-Zurmühlen, 2023), rhetorical (Khasbani, 2018;Heafner, Triplett, Handler, & Massey, 2018;Molin & Godhe, 2020;Janusz, 2022), structural (Valdez, Ugalingan & Garinto, 2022), and metacognitive (Lazou & Tsinakos, 2023) aspects of texts and the meaning-making process. Molin & Godhe's (2020) empirical research is a representative sample of comprehensive pedagogy focusing on the development of Systems thinking, Normative, and Critical thinking competencies using CDL framework.…”
