CRITICAL THINKING IN LEARNER'S CENTERED LEARNING..A FREE SEMINAR



THINKING WHILE THINKING TO MAKE THINKING BETTER


One major obstacle to the development of a well-groomed child in the school system today is the absence of Critical Thinking Content in the national curriculum. This has made the learners to believe all what they have read and have been told hook, line and sinker without testing for validity.

For us to be able to turn out emotional balanced and truly educated children, let us develop means and methods by which learners will exercise their mind and put it to good use on all issues, actions and at all time. This is the reason behind this free seminar.

Furthermore, teachers must be prepared to ensure that learners in their care are fair-minded thinkers who will always take the opinions of others into consideration when dealing with them.

Finally, efforts should be put in place by all teachers, to utilize all the action learning points that this seminar provides, and carefully inject them into their daily teaching methodology, thereby making learners more dynamic in their thinking.
