Option 2 : Examining an event through facts and evidences

Critical Thinking is the ability to apply reasoning and logic to new or unfamiliar situations, ideas, and opinions. It refers to the process of judging or analyzing facts, events, etc.

  •  The role of the social science teacher is to develop the skill of inquiry and decision-making in the learners in order to develop their critical thinking where the learner is able to recognize the problem, analyze the problem, hypothesize the problem, explore the problems, support the hypothesis by providing evidence and finally find the conclusion for the problem.
  • Here, Examining an event through facts and evidence develops critical thinking skills as this helps in analysing the facts, and understand and assess a situation based on all the facts and information available.

Thus, it is concluded that Examining an event through facts and evidence provides scope to develop 'critical thinking' skills.

Hint Other activities do not enhance critical thinking skills as they are based on facts that enhance rote memorization.
