In order to develop critical thinking among students a teacher should :

  • A.ask only those questions which carry single answers.
  • B.discourage the students from asking doubts and questions.
  • C.give questions that involve inferences and explanations.
  • D.avoid questions which need inference and analysis.

Answer: C

The teacher should give questions that involve inferences and explanations.

Critical thinking means analysing information, weighing evidence, drawing inferences and justifying conclusions. Questions that ask students to infer, explain and give reasons make them do exactly this kind of thinking.

Questions with a single fixed answer test recall. Discouraging doubts and questions shuts down inquiry, and avoiding questions that need inference and analysis removes the very practice critical thinking requires.
