| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| We can assume that the most important think that any education system in the world could offer to their students is to teach them how to think. This is not to say that technology does not play an important role in education but that it must go hand in hand with the ability to infuse thinking skills so that students can be critical thinkers. In order to be able to compete in the new era, most countries in the world are gearing their educational system towards creating a learning society, as this will develop thinking citizen. The world’s current focus on promoting critical thinking is a collective reaction to a problem that has been developing for some time. Up till now most of us assumed that critical thinking would automatically develop as students acquired knowledge. It would only develop when the correct form of questioning is practiced and asked because, looking at the use of questioning types, it became obvious that the level of critical thinking among our students be it in the higher learning institution or secondary schools, students’ thinking skills were insufficient to the demands of modern society. |
