About me

Activity

Which instructional methods encourage students to improve their critical thinking skills?

Active learning encourages students to think critically. 

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and conversations.

The instructor may want to use the technology that will benefit the particular student's learning style, even in a class with several different preferred learning styles. 

The student's native language begins in their homes.

Instructors could make an effort to understand the cultures of their students.  This would open up opportunities for better communication in the delivery of information.

Comment on Ro Mataro's post: I totally agree

It is imperative to treat all students as a separate individual.

Using ChatGPT will stimulate students' ability to think critically.

I've learned when faculty start to implement Al into their curriculums and learning formens it can be not easy, time-consuming, and will take a lot of patience.  Take bite sizes as become more engaged.
