Cultivation of Critical Thinking Ability: Based on RAFT Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly

Institute of Physical Science and Information Technology, Anhui University, Hefei 230601, China

Received Date: 25 June 2024
Revised Date: 18 September 2024

To achieve breakthroughs in scientific research, graduate students must avoid blindly trusting authority during the learning process. The key to breaking conventions and cultivating critical analytical thinking is to follow logic. Therefore, in the teaching process of polymer materials, the author introduces classic cases that challenge conventional theories, using RAFT polymerization-induced self-assembly as a case study. This approach encourages students to follow logical reasoning, question authoritative theories, and maintain a fact-based research attitude. This effectively stimulates students to actively learn, think, analyze and solve problems, and promotes the cultivation of their innovation ability.
