| الملخص: | <p dir="ltr"><b>As AI tools like ChatGPT become embedded in education, do they enhance or hinder critical thinking?</b></p><p dir="ltr">This study revisits Bloom’s Taxonomy, proposing an expanded framework that incorporates AI-specific competencies across cognitive, affective, and metacognitive domains.</p><p dir="ltr">Using empirical data from a four-week study of MSc Marketing students, the research explores how AI influences students' engagement with critical thinking. The findings reveal a dual impact—while some students relied passively on AI-generated content, others actively refined, interrogated, and synthesized AI outputs, leading to deeper learning. The study identifies new competencies essential for AI-assisted education, including:</p><ul><li><b>Melioration</b> – the ability to strategically combine AI-generated insights with traditional research.</li><li><b>Interrogating and Refining AI</b> – developing iterative questioning to challenge AI outputs.</li><li><b>Ethical Reasoning</b> – navigating academic integrity concerns in AI-assisted work.</li></ul><p dir="ltr">The revised taxonomy presents a dynamic, non-linear model of learning, reflecting how students interact with AI in real-world educational settings. Rather than replacing traditional cognitive skills, AI introduces new layers of critical engagement, requiring both educators and students to rethink how knowledge is constructed.</p><p dir="ltr">This framework is an essential resource for educators, academic developers, and policymakers seeking practical strategies to integrate AI into curricula while preserving and enhancing critical thinking skills.</p><p dir="ltr">The framework is presented as an infographic in a jpg file and a text version of the infographic is provided in a Word document. The framework is fully explained in the article linked below. </p><p dir="ltr">Read the full study: <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/02734753241305980" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Gonsalves, C.
