摘要:The importance of integrating ICTs into school programs has been stressed for manyyears. Also, critical thinking skills take a dominant place in school curricula. However, schools provide aframe of reference whose orthodoxy is defended by assessment and certification processes. In thiscontext, students learn through their trust towards their teachers. One of the Web's contributions would bean easy access for students to sources of expertise other than their teachers. Many authors hypothesizethat ICT use would contribute to the development and expression of critical thinking.With this paper, weexplore this phenomenon though a deleuzean lens (the smooth/striated dichotomy) by analysing empiricalstudies on this topic. Precisely, we examine whether the school environment is conducive to developingand expressing critical thinking. Empirical studies show, at best, mitigated outcomes: globally, it wouldbe exaggerated to claim that ICTs foster critical thinking
