students who engage regularly in critical thinking activities tend to exhibit higher levels of

functionality in their reasoning and problem-solving abilities (Fisher & Frey, 2021).
Furthermore, studies have shown that a strong emphasis on critical thinking in educational
practices leads to improved cognitive skills among students, reinforcing the idea that consistent
engagement results in mastery and application of these skills (Bailin et al., 2020).

time management practices in enhancing student performance and
productivity (Khan et al., 2021). Additionally, studies have shown that when
students engage in regular time management strategies, they are more
likely to experience improved academic outcomes, suggesting that while
their skills are often functional, consistent practice and support can lead to
greater effectiveness (Bamford & Ernst, 2022).
