Module 7 Activity 3: Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is an integral part of the learning and teaching process and even moreso, 21st century education where the focus is geared towards creating new knowledge. This activity highlighted several issues that caught my attention and provided me with inspiration as an educator. However, the element of socratic questioning resonates in a special way to me since it requires special skills to design and ask the relevant questions to effectively guide the thinking process in creating new knowledge. Hence, questioning is vital to ensure the key elements of clarity, accuracy, purpose, precision, relevancy, depth, breadth and logic in thinking critically.
