In the book Why Your Students Don't Think, the author puts forward a thought-provoking question: Why do students not want to think in class? Through reading this book, I deeply realized that students' thinking ability needs the inspiration and guidance of teachers.

As a teacher, the first thing to do is to provide high-quality teaching content to make students think. We should provide students with rich sources of information, let them acquire new knowledge and ideas, and then stimulate their thinking desire.

Secondly, we need to create a good learning environment so that students dare to think and are willing to think. In this process, we need to give students enough respect and trust to make them feel that their thinking has been valued and recognized.

Finally, we need to teach students the methods and skills of thinking and let them learn how to think. We can help students master their thinking ability step by step through heuristic teaching and problem solving.

In a word, it is teachers' bounden duty to make students think.

From the perspective of educational practice, this book deeply analyzes the reasons why students don't think.

In terms of related knowledge, this book emphasizes the importance of cultivating students' thinking ability. The students' thinking ability is a complicated cognitive process, involving questions, analysis, reasoning and judgment.

Education should guide students from passively accepting information to actively processing information, thus stimulating students' thinking vitality. In teaching, teachers can use heuristic teaching method, problem-solving teaching method and other methods to let students exercise their thinking ability in solving problems and exploring.

Third, the responsibility of educators.

In addition, the book also emphasizes the responsibility of educators. Educators should provide a positive learning environment and encourage students to ask questions, think and explore, instead of simply imparting knowledge. At the same time, educators should also pay attention to students' interests and personality differences and adopt different teaching strategies to stimulate students' thinking interest.

Generally speaking, Why Don't Your Students Think calls on the education sector to re-examine the educational methods, and shift from traditional knowledge instillation to cultivating students' thinking ability and innovation ability.
