Empowering Students through Reflective Writing and Critical Thinking in Ethics Education

The best practice involves employing reflective writing and critical thinking methodologies, such as the ‘identify-analyse-reflect’ approach, to empower students in ethics education. By allowing students to write their own ethical cases, rather than listening other people’s cases, this method encourages active engagement and deepens their understanding of ethical principles. Through this process, students identify ethical issues and dilemmas, analyze them thoroughly, and reflect on their implications. This hands-on approach not only fosters critical thinking skills but also cultivates a sense of ownership over their learning, leading to a more meaningful and effective ethics education experience.
