Thinking skill enable all of us to process information,recall facts and apply knowledge to various situations. This can involve problem-solving and analysis, which are both useful in education.
∆ What is critical thinking ?
Critical thinking help you understand and essass a situation based on all the facts and information available with the help of critical thinking skill, you can sort and organise information, data and facts to define and solve problem.
Then sir talked about the parts of critical thinking :
• Logical
• Rational
Logical thinking is the process of applying a chain of reasoning to overcome a problem and reach a conclusion.
Rational thinking is a series of steps. Much of what we do in everyday life involves a process a series of actionable,repetable steps that can be performed to accomplish a desired goal. For example, we have process for baking a cake, changing a tire.
After that sir explained about thinking skill through photos and videos.
Then an activity was also done on how paper clip, toothbrush and sunglasses can be used in other ways.
In the end the activity of thought experiment was also done in which three task were given and there was a lot of discussion on it.
