The modern educational environment in this digital age is equipped with smart devices and software to help develop students’ thinking and stimulate creativity. Students will have access to many sources of knowledge and rich cultures. Thus, students need to construct new knowledge independently, build their own opinions, have the ability to evaluate and refute facts, opinions, and events in a scientific and creative manner, actively attain and master scientific knowledge, etc. Especially in the current trend of globalization and information explosion, it is no longer appropriate for students to passively accept the views given by teachers without consideration.
