Abstract

In virtually every journal related to education, one can find an article pertaining to "thinking skills." To say the least, the term is on the forefront in education. Likewise, its continued emergence in science education is not coincidental. After all, science is closely associated with logic and reasoning and should be a focal point for enhancing the development of the basic skills of thinking. The basic questions raised in this manuscript are "Can we and do we teach thinking skills in the science classroom?"
