Summary: 
To perform work effectively in the rapidly evolving landscape of science, technology, and engineering, employees must possess highlevel cognitive skills, including critical thinking. Due to the nature of their profession, critical thinking skills are particularly essential for human resources staff within companies. Therefore, fostering critical thinking abilities among Human resources personnel, in alignment with the characteristics of their field and internal training activities, is crucial for enhancing their work efficiency. This study aims to: 1) Establish the concept and characteristics of critical thinking skills for Human resources personnel; 2) Analyze theoretical issues related to the debate teaching method: its concept, principles of debate, and the process of organizing debate-based teaching; 3) Illustrate the application of the debate teaching organization process in training courses designed to develop critical thinking skills for human resources staff within companies. Additionally, this research discusses limitations and future research directions.
