To me, critical thinking requires Ss to integrate content and their experiences to create a product/devise a conclusion.

-
A1 Teach resilience as part of what we do, teach students how to move on and past a poor decision/incorrect answer

I teach in med school. Failure may mean harming patients. Discussing medical errors is difficult.
-

I wouldn't call it failure, I would call it, steps to success. Failure feels so final.

-
-

A3 asking 5 times "why" in order to explore deep into the problem
-
A3: giving Ss meaningful, relevant assignments! Asking Ss tough questions and being willing to engage in conversation

A1 to help Ss overcome poor decision making,Ts can stretch Ss learning by leading Ss to question things & find creative solutions
-
What does critical thinking look like in your classroom?
-
-
A3: when looking at concepts don't just ask why, also ask really why...
-
A2 Critical thinking begins with mindset of one's right to define problem, then agency in expl & hypoth then actions yo solve.
-
A3 Instead of asking Ss "why" as "what are..."
-
It is important to teach our students different ways to approach a problem, there is NO one solution to anything!
-
A3: Ask Ss to identify areas a current solution or theory may have overlooked. Ask them to find a potential fault with an answer
-
A3: Ss can have older peers & professional mentors review their work, allow multiple iterations of projects
-
-
"Problem finders" - a great way to get them to own their learning when they come up with the questions themselves
-
A3 Allow students to solve real world problems and truly discuss why and how it helps.
-
-
. Q3: SS identify real world personally relevant problems, develop plans, make mistakes, analyze results, make decisions
-
A3: Project Based Learning (Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos)can help our students learn how to approach complex issues critically

-
-
A3: PBL is effective for creativity & real life problems. After groups present & discuss...the redesign is most important lesson
-
. We must provide contexts for ss to explore curiosities to enable genuine questions for for critical thinking

-
That approach always works because it it offers a reward to learning via a solution to a problem. https://t.co/BSZhwqP8ux
