Critical Thinking: Schemata vs. Skills.
Brandhorst, Allan R.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v17 n3 p196-209 Sum 1989
Refutes the idea that critical thinking is not a skill by analyzing it from the phenomenological perspective of Edmund Husserl, and from the hermeneutic perspective of Martin Heidegger. Develops the thesis that critical thinking is a restructuring of schemata. Addresses the problem of attention or student engagement. (LS)
