Helping Faculty Foster Students' Critical Thinking in the Disciplines.
Kurfiss, Joanne Gainen
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, (The Department Chairperson's Role in Enhancing College Teaching) n37 p41-50 Spr 1989
Knowing how students reason and how to foster discipline-specific skills in critical thinking helps chairpersons respond positively to faculty concerns about students' reasoning deficiencies. The challenge of teaching thinking, critical-thinking abilities, beliefs about knowledge, overcoming students' limitations, and developing faculty interest in teaching critical thinking are discussed.
