Critical thinking in students can be promoted by :

  • A.Discouraging metacognition
  • B.Discouraging collaborations
  • C.Encouraging students to do rote rehearsal
  • D.Encouraging questions such as what, why, how

Answer: D

Critical thinking is promoted by encouraging questions such as what, why, how.

Critical thinking means analysing, questioning and evaluating ideas rather than accepting them. Asking and answering why and how questions makes children look for reasons, evidence and explanations.

Metacognition, thinking about one's own thinking, supports critical thinking, so discouraging it is wrong. Collaboration exposes children to other viewpoints and arguments, so discouraging it is also wrong. Rote rehearsal builds memorisation, not analysis.
