Beyond Critical Thinking:
Teaching the Thinking Skills Necessary to Academic and Professional Success
William T. Daly
| Daly expands the familiar concepts of critical thinking to include "independent thinking." He argues that many of the mental activities required for independent thinking run counter to the way the human brain actually works and that in order to help students meet growing academic and economic demands, educators will have to modify their instructional strategies to include more opportunities for students to practice independent thinking. The monograph includes classroom strategies for providing students needed experience in higher order thinking skills. |
