Abstract

Critical thinking is one of the essential elements of scientific thinking. However, the analysis of Biology textbooks highlighted the lack of those tasks which improve critical thinking. Numerous biological topics are suitable for this purpose, especially the topic of the human anatomy and health. The development of students’ health literacy is also possible within the confines of such topics. One of the specific areas of health literacy is the oral health literacy, whose state of development has an influence on oral hygiene and general health condition. Researches show that the oral hygienic condition of Hungarian population is maleficent; more than half of them have restricted health literacy. On that measure, the improvement of oral health literacy is also a task with significant importance. The joint development of critical thinking and oral health literacy is likely to happen on Biology classes, whose basis is that their common element is the evaluation as cognitive operation. The insufficiency of dental knowledge, which was the result of the analysis of Biology textbooks, must be taken into consideration during the creation of developing tasks.
