Third Task According to Socrates when you Ask questions help your students to reflect about the information that they have in their minds or they have investigated.This method helps to collect and evaluate our ideas and with feedback we will create new ideas.

Creative & Critical Thinking by: Stephen Brookfield Stephen Brookfield is a scholar in adult education who holds the John Ireland Endowed Chair at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota.

In addition, Critical thinking can help us solve problems efficiently.

Do you recognize anything of yourself in Bodner's description of students? What effect would the approach he suggests have on your learning and understanding?

For me, the things I find most difficult about challenging the opinions of other people are :   *Trust more in me I think that in many cases I need to be more conscious about who I am because when I have a viewpoint different in something and we have to debate about topic or something like that, I do not have enough perseverance to defend what I say then I start thinking that my classmates are right and I am wrong.  I will deal with this by Believing more in me because I know and I need to express my ideas in the correct way.    

For me, the emotions that are most difficult to manage when others disagree with me are: *  Frustrated  *  E xhaustion I feel frustrated when the other person does not understand my viewpoint and this person decides to rip into me then in that moment I do not know how to explain or say the correct words. Exhaustion because in many cases when you know someone who has a different point of you, you spend a lot of time trying to explain to them.  My deal with this is by: I will have calm when I am in these situations
