As an educator, it is important to ask the students questions and encourage students to ask questions as well to enhance their critical thinking skills. Have the students understands and explain the reasons behind their actions which help them move from beyond the task but develop their critical thinking
It is crucial to ask thought-provoking questions to engage students in learning. The best way for students to learn is to acknowledge what they are doing and why. Understand that they are giving a medication for high blood blood pressure instead of just saying here is your amlodipine.
Critical thinking and strategies to help support development of problem-solving skills are key.
Muy bueno, el curso es excelente, como explicar ética, valores , poder ayudar al estudiante a pasar de ser aprendices dependientes a convertirse en aprendices interesados involucrados
Young adults today need to learn soft skills and also thinking on their own. Many are hesitant to think outside of the box and problem solve by themselves.

The Teacher need to encourage Critical Thinking because identifying arguments .recognizing contradictions ,and making decisions bases on solid evidence.
I agree that 'soft skills' are just as important, if not more important, than technical skills and experience. Good customer service and listening skills go a long way in getting a job, keeping a job and excelling at your job.
Critical thinking skills are fostered through writing and practicing problem solving. Encourage students to process information before reacting to situations.
Critical thinking helps our students not to react too quickly, the need to come with a solide solution / answer
Critical thinking is a skill that will show the students effective ways to trouble shoot systems and then come with logical ways to find a solution. Once taught this skill will stay with students forever.
This module was super, explaining how to promote creativity through having students ask questions and also self-management to guide students to become more autonomous learning.
It is very important to teach students ethics. It is important to make sure you are teaching ethics professionally and personally.
What stands out most for me in this module is the sttement that critical thinking is a deliberative process built on lower order thinking skills. As an educator my goal will be to ask questions that help develop these skills.
This module confirms that writing aids students in retaining information. It also stimulates their creative thinking. Overall, writing is a valuable tool for enhancing learning and creativity.
This really emphasized the importance of teaching creativity to my students by allowing them the proper time to formulate responses, work together, and drafting flexible assignments for them to try their hand.
This reminded me that it’s not just about technical skills—soft skills like communication, ethics, and critical thinking matter just as much. I will encourage the students to find opportunities to grow in those areas, stay curious, and use writing as a way to reflect and learn from experience.
There is so much to professionalism and critical thinking. Yes professionalism includes preparation, appearance and speech. But it also encompasses knowing and growing in the specific environment. Critical thinking is vital for profesionalism. Teaching students how thik requires the development of activities that require problem solving. Hence, the lesson must be well prepared with room for collaboration, creativity and the time to create a solution. Purposeful planning must be paired with time enough to think, collaborate and create an appropriate solution.
Really emphasizing why something happens or doesn't happen due to an action can help develop creative thinking.
critical thinking helps you ask better questions and find better solutions that is geared towards actual solutions .
