Teaching Information Evaluation and Critical Thinking Skills in Physics Classes
Popescu, Adriana; Morgan, James
Physics Teacher, v45 n8 p507-510 Nov 2007
The physics curriculum at all educational levels can be enriched to include tools for strengthening students' information evaluation skills. The "Report of the Joint APS-AAPT Task Force on Graduate Education in Physics" calls for such training to be part of graduate programs, but training to acquire these lifetime skills can be incorporated in the curriculum even before graduate level.
