Teacher and At-Risk Students' Cognitions during Open-Ended Activities: Structuring the Learning Environment for Critical Thinking.
McBride, Ron; Bonnette, Randy
Teaching and Teacher Education, v11 n4 p373-88 Jul 1995
Results from a study of at-risk boys in a summer camp suggest that critical thinking can be fostered effectively in an instructional framework that emphasizes teacher modeling, an indirect approach to instruction, group collaboration, and strategy facilitation. The study examined changes in critical- thinking scores, as well as teacher and student cognitions during critical-thinking activities. (IAH)
