How do we best teach children to be sceptical and questioning? Can they learn everything they need to know from first principles? Are there some things they just need to take on trust? If pupils do need to depend on authority, how can we also teach them to be sceptical of it?
And what does scientific evidence have to tell us – how do we think and learn, and is it even possible to teach critical thinking and scepticism?
