Description

The economic and social challenges confronting the nation today demand that all citizens acquire and learn to use complex reasoning and thinking skills.

Education and Learning to Think confronts the issues facing our schools as they take on this mission.

This volume reviews previous research, highlights successful learning strategies, and makes specific recommendations about problems and directions requiring further study.

Among the topics covered are the nature of thinking and learning, the possibilities of teaching general reasoning, the attempts to improve intelligence, thinking skills in academic disciplines, methods of cultivating the disposition toward higher order thinking and learning, and the integral role motivation plays in these activities.
