Coping with Faculty Resistance to Teaching Critical Thinking.
Haas, Paul F.; Keeley, Stuart M.
College Teaching, v46 n2 p63-67 Spr 1998
Reluctance of college faculty to teach critical thinking may be due to many factors. Proactive strategies for reducing resistance include creating a positive context for change, communicating expertness and credibility, creating a sense of safety and trust, countering sources of student resistance, and creating high hopes and expectations for change in students.
