| Summary: | We can assume that the most important think that any education system in the world
could offer to their students is to teach them how to think. This is not to say that
technology does not play an important role in education but that it must go hand in hand
with the ability to infuse thinking skills so that students can be critical thinkers.
In order to be able to compete in the new era, most countries in the world are
gearing their educational system towards creating a learning society, as this will develop
thinking citizen. The world’s current focus on promoting critical thinking is a collective
reaction to a problem that has been developing for some time. Up till now most of us
assumed that critical thinking would automatically develop as students acquired
knowledge. It would only develop when the correct form of questioning is practiced and
asked because, looking at the use of questioning types, it became obvious that the
level of critical thinking among our students be it in the higher learning institution or
secondary schools, students’ thinking skills were insufficient to the demands of modern
society. |
