Not only the teachers at schoolbut the first teachers a child has in their life - parents. He stated that “Children are usually nottaught to think critically by their parents, by their kindergarten teacher, by any teachers. Mostlikely, the majority of their teachers are not critical thinkers.” After several decades, we still face the same issue in our classrooms - how to teach ourstudents to be critical thinkers. This study focuses on reinforcing critical thinking skills usinghand-written homework assignments. Design/Method Engineering physics courses

Because the majority of my group took chemistry, some of the material was review”To combat this, topics that would be considered “review” were always paired with an interactiveactivity to encourage engagement and discussion from the students who have already seen thetopic while still teaching the important information to those who have not.Transfer of Learning ImplementationOur approach to improving comprehension through transfer of learning was realized in threemajor ways throughout the week.
