    How to promote creativity and critical thinking in the education system?

    Creativity and critical thinking in the students are a must in the present scenario. We should try to promote these skills in our education system. We should encourage open-mindedness and curiosity among students, allowing them to explore diverse perspectives and ideas. Teachers can create an inclusive environment where students feel safe to express their thoughts without judgment. Integrating project-based learning and hands-on activities can spark creativity and problem-solving skills. These interactive experiences empower students to apply knowledge in real-world situations, fostering their ability to think critically and innovatively.

    Additionally, promoting interdisciplinary learning can break down the boundaries between subjects, enabling students to see connections and patterns beyond textbooks. Moreover, educators should emphasize the value of questioning, allowing the students to challenge assumptions and seek evidence to support their arguments. By incorporating these strategies, we can cultivate a generation of thoughtful and imaginative individuals equipped to tackle future challenges.

    Yes, the author is right to promote creativity and critical thinking among the students during the session of teachings and we do the real analysis, teachers hardly find time to pay attention to the individuals. They are supposed to complete the targets of the syllabus within the prescribed timing. This process does not allow them to go beyond their calculated approach. The students, too, lack the curiosity of raising any questions from their sides to clarify their doubts.
    Hence the teachers ignore the very vital part essential for their mental growth. They are devoid of motivation during the sessions of teachings. We should definitely take care of this drawback with the proper inculcation of their curiosities in the classroom otherwise such a monotonous environment of teachings would not help to promote their critical thinking.

    That is true. A teacher should give scope for the student to think. For this asking questions, conducting quiz programs and allowing group discussions among the students are some ways. But routine teaching alone can't help the students. I feel the traditional teaching methods alone may not help students develop their thinking skills.
    I know a teacher, who asks the students questions and sees that he will get the desired answer from him. He will be giving some hints or maybe putting his question in a different way so that he will get the desired answer from the students. This process will definitely give scope to the student in improving his critical thinking process.
    Interdisciplinary learning is definitely the best way for a student which will allow him to connect different subjects.

    Only a creative, positive and critical thinking teacher can motivate students and promote creativity and critical thinking in them.
    A student should feel free to ask any doubt coming to his mind during or after lessons and discussions-however elementary and idiotic it may look. The teacher, even if feels the question as stupid and foolish should try to answer patiently and ensure that the student is satisfied with the answer or explanation. Even if other students try to ridicule or laugh at the question asking student, the teacher should stop them and teach them the need for independent and critical thinking. Students should be taught and convinced that questioning should not be just for sake of questioning or getting attention, but it should be the urge to know more about anything to his comprehension level.

    Education should not be a passive exercise where the teacher delivers a lesson and the student just simply listens to it and that is the end of it. In such a dull system a student will never be a creative person. In fact he had not understood the topic of the day itself.
    For generating a creative environment the education should be interactive and there should be a lot of practical and project work which can inculcate imagination and creativity in the students. It is obvious that teachers should also be aware of these things and create a conducive environment where such learnings could be accomplished.
    Early industry and market exposure is also a big facilitator for creative learnings and productive ideas.
    Merely academic knowledge only is not sufficient if creative ideas and creative faculties are not developed along with that.
    Knowledge is power.

    Promoting creativity and critical thinking in education involves valuing diverse ideas, encouraging curiosity, using hands-on projects, showing interdisciplinary connections, presenting real-world challenges, teaching questioning skills, fostering collaboration, promoting reflection, emphasizing real-world application, facilitating discussions, integrating creative arts, and highlighting adaptability. These strategies cultivate a dynamic learning environment for students to become innovative problem-solvers.

    In our schooling period say, till 1973, there was drawing classes, Moral Instruction Classes daily amidst classes for other main subjects even for the tenth standard students. This was understood to accept as diversion of continuous classes and sometimes the effort and talent of some students brought out by the drawing teachers. A classmate of my tenth standard, named Ambarish, draw the face of then new film star, Rajinikanth very absolutely. The drawing master brought this to the Headmaster and on the next day prayer hall, the headmaster announced this by showing the picture to every student publicly. This type of classes normally motivate some really interested students.
    Even now I read in media that a ninth standard boy introduced a new app through his mobile and earned a good money out of that.
    Teachers and parents should observe such creativity in their children and motivate them instead of blocking their creativity.
