Abstract
In the context of contemporary higher education, cultivating students' analytical and critical thinking capabilities is essential for their achievement in both academic and professional arenas. Conventional pedagogical approaches frequently fail to adequately support the advancement of these sophisticated cognitive competencies. Recent studies suggest that reflective and collaborative learning methodologies can significantly strengthen these skills. Nevertheless, there remains a paucity of research concerning the overall effects of these educational strategies on university students. This initial investigation seeks to fill this void by assessing a blended instructional model that combines reflective and collaborative learning techniques to enhance the analytical and critical thinking abilities of students at Yunnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The results indicate that this holistic approach not only improves cognitive skills but also fosters a more engaging and effective educational atmosphere. This research provides empirical validation for the incorporation of reflective and collaborative learning, offering valuable insights for curriculum design and instructional practices within higher education.
