Workshop
Embedding Critical Thinking Skills in Chemistry Classes and Enhance Students Engagement
Embedding critical thinking skills in chemistry classes is crucial for several reasons.
Firstly, critical thinking enables students to analyze complex chemical concepts and phenomena, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject.
It encourages students to question assumptions, evaluate evidence, and draw logical conclusions, essential skills for scientific inquiry.
Additionally, critical thinking promotes problem-solving abilities, as students learn to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.
By engaging students in active learning and encouraging them to think critically, chemistry classes become more dynamic and interactive, enhancing student engagement.
This approach prepares students to become independent thinkers, equipping them with skills that extend beyond the classroom and are valuable in various academic and professional pursuits.
