What is Empirical Education

The chapter analyses that it is crucial to incorporate mixed teaching methods that promote mobility, agility, creativity, and critical thinking to enhance student's learning experience. Critical thinking ability is indispensable in all fields, both within and beyond academia. It needs to be more than conventional classroom methods to impart theoretical and conceptual knowledge. Educational institutions should necessarily incorporate practical, real-world learning experiences into the curriculum by changing internal assignments into field studies. Further, the authors in this chapter discussed how the primary objectives of teaching need to create innovative pedagogical techniques to build collaborative relationships and research-oriented assignments that create sound reasoning skills essential to developing critical thinking. It involves analytical thinking, assessing evidence, determining assumptions, and examining arguments. These skills allow learners to make informed decisions, form opinions, and solve problems confidently.
