During the years 1994, 1995 and 1997 I taught an NSF Chautauqua Course
titled "Promoting Reflective Thinking in Science Classes." I taught
this course in San Francisco and in Puerto Rico. This short course
led faculty through a process by which they considered what skills and
attitudes their students are bringing to the classroom and the cognitive
abilities and assumptions of their students (using the Reflective Judgment
Model of Cognitive Development). From this basis, participants were
encourage to design new course goals that had an appropriate mixture of
process and content for their science courses.
