Problem-Solving and Reflective Thinking: John Dewey, Linda Flower, Richard Young.

Rosen, Joan G.

Journal of Teaching Writing, v6 n1 p69-78 Spr 1987

Discusses the affinities between L. Flower's problem-solving method, B. Young's tagmemic invention, and Dewey's reflective thinking, each strategy equally focusing on choices to be made allowing the thinker/writer to make order out of incongruity and dissonance. Applies Dewey's five phases of reflective thought to writing. (JG)
