Critical thinking VS Copy paste

---

I use reflective journaling to help students evaluate their learning and thought processes regularly.

Students engage in peer reviews where they critique each other’s work constructively, sharpening analytical skills.

I present problems with no single correct answer to promote exploration of multiple perspectives.

@Sanaa I avoid spoon-feeding solutions and instead guide students with clues, promoting independent thinking.

@Shaista-Kalhoro
Great strategy! Encouraging original writing and short presentations truly boosts critical thinking and confidence.

@Mariya
Absolutely! Real-world tasks and group work really do spark deep thinking. I've found that open-ended questions and topic-based presentations often lead to the most meaningful discussions.

We can develop critical thinking among students by giving them strong foundation towards the related topic.

@Shaista-Kalhoro That’s a great teaching method! Encouraging students to connect chemistry with real life truly builds their confidence and critical thinking skills.

@Sanaa
I believe developing critical thinking skills in students is crucial for their academic and real-world success. To foster critical thinking, I use various strategies, such as open-ended questions, case studies, debates, and problem-solving activities. By giving students complex, real-world scenarios to analyze and solve, I encourage them to think deeply, evaluate evidence, and justify their conclusions. I also promote Socratic seminars, where students engage in structured discussions, questioning, and challenging each other's ideas. Additionally, I incorporate activities that require students to identify biases, evaluate sources, and consider multiple perspectives. By providing opportunities for students to think critically, I help them develop essential skills like analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, enabling them to become independent, thoughtful, and informed learners.

@Sanaa through feedback

@Mariya Critical thinking requires active engagement with information, including questioning assumptions, analyzing arguments, and evaluating evidence.

@Shaista-Kalhoro involves higher-order thinking skills like analysis, interpretation, and evaluation, leading to well-reasoned judgments

@Sanaa Critical thinking emphasizes being aware of personal biases and considering alternative viewpoints to ensure objective and fair assessments.

@Sanaa Copy-pasting is a passive action where text or data is transferred without active analysis or engagement.

@Sanaa Copy-pasting can be used as a starting point for analysis and interpretation. Students can copy text from a source and then critically evaluate its content.

@Sanaa Copying and pasting text can be part of a larger process that includes revision, where students rewrite and rephrase copied material to reflect their own understanding and voice.

Let them explain whatever they know if they answer wrong reply them that you are right but Its answer should b like this.Ask them a question whatever they say write on the board after discussion at the end you should answer relatively from their answers.

@Sanaa It’s really an interesting point to discuss: copy-pasting. Students must understand what should be copied and where it should be pasted. Clearly, the first step—knowing what to copy—requires critical thinking.

I ask them the logic questions in which there was no wrong answer. All they have to do to justify their answer as much as they can even a bit also.
