  • A.Lecturing on the topic and providing students with detailed notes.
  • B.Assigning a project in which students must memorize and present information on a topic.
  • C.Providing students with open-ended questions to come up with their own solutions.
  • D.Giving students multiple-choice tests to assess their knowledge.

Answer: C

The strategy is providing students with open-ended questions to come up with their own solutions.

Open-ended questions have more than one acceptable answer and invite students to analyse, evaluate and generate ideas, which is the core of critical and creative thinking.

Lecturing with detailed notes, projects built on memorising information and multiple-choice tests of knowledge all centre on reproducing given information rather than producing new ideas.
