Abstract

Living in an information driven society can be challenging at times especially when it comes to classifying relevant and irrelevant information or right and wrong information. Moreover, it is easily accessible through Whatsapp, internet, OTT platform etc. Every learner living in the modern world is constantly bombarded with thought conditioning information through adults around him, media, social circles etc. This process of influencing is from cradle to grave. If education has to equip individuals with the right kind of skills and prepare them for life equipped with the 21st century skills a sound base of a reflective mindset has to be cultivated. The review focuses on development of reflective thinking as a pre requisite to transferring the 21st century skill set of Critical Thinking, Decision Making, Problem Solving, Digital Literacy, Creativity, Collaboration and Autonomy among young learners.
