Teaching Learners Generative Strategies for Enhancing Reading Comprehension.
Wittrock, M. C.
Theory into Practice, v24 n2 p123-26 Spr 1985

The study of student thought processes upon a base of neural, cognitive and educational research leads to improved instruction and furthers the goal of universal education. (MT)
