Fostering Critical Reflection through Technology: Preparing Prospective Teachers for a Changing Society.
Harrington, Helen
Journal of Information Technology for Teacher Education, v1 n1 p67-82 1992

A computer conference helped students examine their taken-for-granted assumptions, the validity in differing perspectives, and consequences of choice making. Findings suggest that computer conferencing can help students reach this goal, in conjunction with coursework goals. (SM)
