Dr. Ritu Benjamin, Dr. Pranjali Sharma, and Dr. Manoj Dewangan

Abstract

This study was conducted to find the Teacher’s behaviour towards critical thinking in the students of engineering. A questionnaire with ten questions was created using response in 3-point Likert scale. It was administered to fifty teachers teaching in engineering colleges at Chhattisgarh state in India. Results show that they were regular in nurturing the critical thinking skills in their students.

Keywords: Engineering Students, Critical Thinking, Cognitive Languages, Teacher’s Behaviour.

Introduction

Critical thinking term is rooted deeply in the history; if we go back thousand years, it was used as a process to verify the theories of philosophers. Shekhar Bhattacharjee said that today the one primary goal of higher education has always been to inculcate the habit of critical thinking among students, to raise them as responsible, evaluative human beings.

The engineers and engineering students today have sound technical knowledge. They sit in front of computer busy in coding their lives without any critical and analytical thinking. Today’s demand from engineers is to have critical thinking which a process of rationalising things and situations is. The engineers need to develop their cognitive skills which include thinking, reading, learning, retaining information that ultimately help them to make decisions and solve problems.

Statement of Problem

It is important to find whether the engineering students have power to think critically. The teachers are a source who can enhance the critical thinking in engineering students, it is important to find whether teachers promote critical thinking among students in classroom.
