However, they must consider rules around safeguarding and their job responsibilities. Using social media allows for increased sharing and discussion, but requires navigating challenges to established practices. Activity theory and pragmatism provide frameworks for understanding how digital tools mediate learning experiences within social contexts.
Analytical Thinking (2)
1) Thinking requires using the intellect to gain knowledge and solve problems, and is encouraged in the Quran.
2) Through analytical thinking and applying intellect, humanity can utilize scientific knowledge to develop the earth and fulfill their role as God's trustees.
3) Critical thinking involves looking past surface appearances to evaluate evidence and viewpoints, guard against error, and consider various perspectives and impacts of actions or inactions. It is important for individuals and societies to avoid harm.
