Abstract:

Instructional reform requires learning by those who implement it. Learning involves a process of reconstructing knowledge and beliefs entailed by complex behavioral change. A cognitive perspective of policy implementation underscores that behavioural changes have a fundamental cognitive component. By assuming that policy implementation as a relatively straightforward process of transmitting behavioural rules drawn up by policy-makers to those responsible for implementing the rules, a top-down policy implementation tends to undermine the learning needs of those who are implementing instructiona

Abstract:

The recent movement to enhance critical thinking through education is not entirely new. However, it differs from an earlier tradition which was concerned broadly with the historical origins and social ramifications of critical thought. The terms of reference of the current 'thinking skills debate' are more narrowly restricted to the objectives and methods of contemporary education systems and there is a characteristic tendency to adopt features of individual psychology and 'cognitive science'. Even where such conceptual perspectives are not made explicit, there is widespread commitment to the

Abstract:

Reflection is an important concept in nursing education, and is regularly used to explore the application of theory to practice and ascertain knowledge arising from practice. The ability to think critically is an essential skill for students to acquire during their education to support effective patient care and evidence-based practice. Today, reflection and thinking skills are commonly embedded in nursing curricula as learning outcomes. This study explored the relationship between reflection and reflective practice as a teaching strategy on the thinking skills of postgraduate nursing students

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between critical thinking and religious schema as represented by religious orientation. Past research has included religious belief within the larger construct of paranormal belief, and demonstrated a correlation between high levels of paranormal belief and poor critical thinking skills. Studies in the psychology of religion suggested that a more complex religious measure based on religious orientation was necessary to understand these correlations. Additionally, schema theory offered a cognitive framework within which to experimentally

At the heart of such prescription is a vision of a future in which 'process' rather than 'knowledge' will be t
