DESCRIPTION:<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>TEACHING CRITICAL THINKING: A COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE</strong><br />
DANIEL WILLINGHAM (UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA)<br />
CHAIR: JASON SPIEGELMAN<br />
<br />
When asked to name our highest hope for schooling, most would suggest that we want to teach students to think critically; we don&#39;t want them merely to learn factual content, nor do we want them just to memorize formulae or algorithms to solve problems. We want them to be creative problem-solvers. Yet this hope seems to be seldom fulfilled. In this talk I will explain from a cognitive perspective why critical thinking is so difficult to teach, and suggest curricular and instructional strategies to get around these difficulties.</span>
