Developing Reflective Judgment

How do students learn to reason and think about complex issues? This book fills a critical gap in our understanding of a long–neglected facet of the critical thinking process: reflective judgment. Drawing on extensive cross–sectional and longitudinal research, including their own ten–year study, Patricia M. King and Karen Strohm Kitchener detail the series of stages that lay the foundation for reflective thinking, and they trace the development of reflective judgment through adolescence and adulthood.
