Question:

What methods have you found effective for helping students improve critical thinking skills? David Charles Wright-Carr at ResearchGate.

In my experience, some undergraduate students tend to be naive and accept information without much critical analysis. I have been experimenting with methods for teaching the basic skills of critical thinking, and I would like to read about other educators' experiences in this area.

My Reply:

By analyzing all the answers to the questions, we found the following:

(1) All the existing and proposed critical thinking methods are problematic

(2) The majority of suggested critical thinking proposals are personal views

(3) The majority of the answers start from the problematic solution space -- The number is Huge

(4) Some of the answers start with "Clarify the Concept" -- We think no one knows anything about the "Concept." because we discovered more than 50 innovative keys and more than 100 facets per concept, and no one knows them

(5) All the proposed answers apply only to instance-oriented scenarios and do not apply to other scenarios

(6) Some answers start with identifying the "Problem" or the "Question." (The Problem Space). The problem space is essential for critical thinking. -- Unfortunately, no one knows anything about "The Problem Space') because we are Solution-Oriented Creatures.

I will start posting many questions and answers on

I. Critical Look @ Existing Critical Thinking

II. Propose Critical Thinking Methods and Techniques for Unified Critical Thinking (UCT) and how to apply them in any "Problem Space" range in any knowledge domain.

III. Looking for partners with any legal parties to collaborate and work with us on this essential work for all of us based on innovative discoveries that are.

(1) Concurrent Software Development Model or Software Stability Model (SSM)

(2) Unified Concept Engineering (UCE)

(3) Unified Doman Knowledge Engineering (UDKE)

(4) Unified & Stable Linguistics Engineering (ULE)

(5) Knowledge Map for Unified Domain Analysis (KM-UDA)

(6) Unified Critical Thinking Engineering (UCTE)

(7) Unification of the Art of Abstraction (UAA)

Thus, it is concluded that to increase the “Critical thinking” ability among students project-based teaching-learning is the most effective

There are several methods that have proven effective in helping students improve their critical thinking skills. Here are a few notable approaches:

1. Socratic questioning

2. Problem-based learning

3. Collaborative learning

4. Analysis of case studies

5. Reflection and metacognition

6. Authentic assessments

7. Engaging with diverse perspectives
