Student Held Misconceptions Regarding Area And Perimeter Of Rectangles, Susan M. Carle
Student Held Misconceptions Regarding Area And Perimeter Of Rectangles, Susan M. Carle
Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection
Students enter the classroom with individual schemas, based on their experiences and ideas, which influence the reception, interpretation, and recollection of new information. Effective teachers must understand the implications of these existing schemas. As an experienced classroom teacher, the author finds students often manipulate and apply new information well in class, only to forget or alter the material a few weeks later;. When misconceptions are woven into schemas, they interfere with reception of information. This thesis examines specific student-held misconceptions about the area and perimeter of rectangles and the process of their identification and eradication. Identification of the misconception is …

Analysis Of Mccarthy Learning Styles And Integration Of Critical And Creative Thinking, Lucille Nancy Maugeri Mckain
Analysis Of Mccarthy Learning Styles And Integration Of Critical And Creative Thinking, Lucille Nancy Maugeri Mckain
Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection
Bernice McCarthy has devised an instructional and organizational model that has been used in the United States since 1979. The model addresses an experiential cycle of learning that takes one from personal meaning to creativity. The use of this model helps people to understand and respect others, to communicate, and to think at higher levels.
This thesis offers the McCarthy model as a foundation for structuring learning experiences. It begins with a literature review which discusses the theoretical origins of McCarthy's model. In evaluating this model for its inherent critical and creative thinking skills, however, the author finds several areas …

Teaching Foreign Languages In Context: Intermediate Italian And Critical Thinking, Chiara Frenquellucci
Teaching Foreign Languages In Context: Intermediate Italian And Critical Thinking, Chiara Frenquellucci
Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection
Declining student interest in the study of foreign languages in U.S. universities has prompted calls for reform. This thesis proposes to enhance the teaching of intermediate Italian through the integration of critical thinking skills and innovative techniques of language instruction. Implementing such a program requires shifts in both content and teaching methods. Language (both native and foreign) is not a set of detached components, but rather a tool for communication of perceptions and ideas through meaningful exchanges. The learning of a language should fulfill its promise of proficiency and be a congenial opportunity for success in learning. Exploiting the natural …

The Foundations Of Morality, Maryann Gilbert-Lovell
The Foundations Of Morality, Maryann Gilbert-Lovell
Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection
Beginning in preschool, moral education should provide children with a foundation for making good and reasonable decisions as well as the motivation to act with integrity. In a complex and changing world, figuring out what is good or what is the 'right' thing to do is often difficult, and decisions often require highly developed critical and creative thinking skills and deep motivation. A moral person arrives at decisions concerning what to do, how to live, and what to believe through reflective and reasonable thinking. Critical and creative thinking skills and dispositions enable a moral person to arrive at a clear …
