Policy and Research Dilemmas in the Teaching of Reasoning: Unplanned Designs.
Cuban, Larry
Review of Educational Research, v54 n4 p655-81 Win 1984
Although there is a renewed interest in having reasoning skills taught in schools, current methods of organizing, staffing, and governing classrooms retard the teaching of critical thought. The limited impact of progressive educational reforms, an earlier movement for critical thinking, is assessed. Needed policy and research directions to improve reasoning instruction are suggested.
