Towards Critical Thinking as an Ethic.
Sears, Alan; Parsons, Jim
Theory and Research in Social Education, v19 n1 p45-68 Win 1991
Considers the gap between theory and practice in social studies education. Postulates this gap results from teachers utilizing critical thinking as a classroom strategy rather than committing to it as an ethic. Examines seven principles to illustrate critical thinking as a teaching ethic. Urges professors to embody this ethic in their teaching to influence prospective teachers. (CH)
