EDUT 5239 Critical Thinking in Science

Empower Students with Critical Thinking in Science

Critical thinking and scientific argumentation open up possibilities for students to enhance their ability to analyze and solve problems in our world! This course gives you the opportunity to incorporate critical thinking principles in your Science instruction by revising existing lessons or activities, evaluating the use of case studies, and developing an engaging activity that applies the model of claim-evidence-reasoning (CER). You will learn ways to empower students with skills to effectively present and support arguments, and will create and implement a new routine for them to practice critical thinking. At the end of this course, you’ll be ready to unleash the power of scientific argumentation and critical thinking with Science students!
