Abstract | This document consists of the final report and teacher handbook from a project conducted to develop a curriculum of information, strategies, and activities for adult basic education teachers, tutors, and counselors to use in helping adult students improve their higher order thinking skills. Findings of a review of the available literature on higher order thinking skills were incorporated into a curriculum designed to develop students' critical thinking, creative thinking, and metacognition skills by using the following teaching techniques: questioning, modeling, bridging, visualization, and reflection. The curriculum was tested at three pilot sites. After a summative evaluation and further revision, the curriculum and an accompanying handbook for teachers and tutors were disseminated through Pennsylvania's state resource centers. Appended to the final report is the instrument used by teachers to evaluate the curriculum at the three pilot sites. The teacher/tutor handbook contains the following: background information on higher order thinking, teaching techniques, and methods of observing students' progress; lists of 19 resource organizations, 21 supplemental materials, and 49 additional readings; and curriculum materials and sample learning activities. Contains 39 references. (MN) |
