Tópico(s)Education and Critical Thinking Development
ResumoMost educators agree that we must help students learn to think for themselves and to solve problems (e.g., Feuerstein, 1979; Linn, 1986; Mann, 1979; Segal, Chipman, & Glaser, 1985). This emphasis on thinking has prompted educators to focus their attention on processes involved in thinking rather than only on the contents of thought. Nevertheless, research demonstrates that knowledge of important content-knowledge of concepts, theories, and principles-empowers people to think effectively. Without appropriate knowledge, people's ability to think and solve problems is relatively weak (e.g., Bransford, Sherwood, Vye, & Rieser, 1986; Newell, 1980; Simon, 1980).
