WhyIndependentThinkingMattersinJuniorHigh

Juniorhighisatimeofgrowth-studentslearnmoresubjects,meetnewpeople,andfacenew

challenges.Amongalltheskillstheyneed,independentthinkingisoneofthemostimportant.It

helpsstudentslearnbetter,solveproblems,andgrowintoconfidentpeople.

First,independentthinkinghelpsstudentslearndeeper,notjustmemorize.Inprimaryschool,

studentsoftenlearnbyrememberingfacts-like“thecapitalofChinaisBeijing”.Butinjuniorhigh,

subjectslikehistoryandgeographyrequiremorethanmemory.Forexample,whenlearningabout

Confucius,studentsneedtothink:"Whatdidhissayingsmeanforpeoplethen?Howdotheyhelpus

now?”WangHan,aGrade7student,pointedouthisteacher'ssmallmistakeinclassbecausehe

thoughtindependently.Thisdidn'tjustcorrectthemistake——ithelpedhimunderstandthesaying

better.Withoutindependentthinking,studentsmayjustwritedownanswerswithoutunderstanding,

whichwon'thelptheminthelongrun.

Second,independentthinkinghelpsstudentssolveproblemsontheirown.Juniorhighhasmore

challenges:toomuchhomework,difficultsubjects,ormisunderstandingswithfriends.Studentswho

thinkindependentlycanfindsolutions.Forexample,LiLincouldn'tfinishherhomeworkontime.

Insteadofaskingherparentsfbrhelpimmediately,shethought:"Whichtasksarcmostimportant?

CanIdividemyhomeworkintosmallpart*?”Shemadeatasklistandfinishedherhomeworkon

time.Studentswhodon'tthinkindependentlymaygiveupeasilywhenfacingproblems.

Third,independentthinkingbuildsconfidence.Whenstudentsthinkforthemselvesandgetgood

results-likesolvingamathproblemorunderstandingadifficulttopic-theyfeelproud.Thispride

makesthemmoreconfidenttofacenewchallenges.Mia,anotherGrade7student,usedtobescared

tospeakinclass.Butaftershethoughtindependentlyandsharedherideasaboutabook,herteacher

praisedher.Now,sheoftenraisesherhandinclassshe'smoreconfidentbecausesheknowsher

thoughtsmatter.

Somepeoplesay'juniorhighstudentsaretooyoungtothinkindependently”.Butthisiswrong.

Independentthinkingdoesn'tmean“doingeverythingalone”-itmeans“thinkingbeforeaskingfbr

help”.Teachersandparentscanguidestudents,butstudentsneedtotrytothinkfirst.
