Abstract

Thinking skill instruction for school-age children is a significant topic for today's educators to consider. A coalition of 27 educational groups, including the National Education Association and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, has been formed to promote thinking skill instruction in the nation's classrooms (Lytle, 1986). A poll of ASCD members shows that about 90 percent want better thinking skill instruction to be a major priority in the coming year (Beyer, 1984). Educators taking the Graduate Student Examinations now have to think through a section on reasoning.
