Teaching Strategies: Developing Personal Power.
Wassermann, Selma
Childhood Education, v63 n2 p115-17 Dec 1986

Illustrates how this may be incorporated into classroom practice through two teaching strategies: incorporating higher-order thinking tasks--comparing--into the school day; and inviting children to offer their ideas.
