AEQ Call for Papers: Critical Thinking

Posted by on November 19, 2004

Academic Exchange Quarterly invites articles that explore issues of Critical Thinking. Although service-learning is not explicitly mentioned, it certainly fits into this topic!

Focus:
Despite the long standing tradition and popularity of the lecture format, it is very limiting when trying to develop critical thinking skills among students. Developing critical thinking skills is regarded by many educational professionals as being of primary importance. However, many educators seem to have only a vague understanding of what critical thinking is and how it can be taught. This issue will aim to address this problem by outlining what is meant by critical thinking, how it can adequately be demonstrated, why it is an important intellectual skill, and strategies for fostering critical thinking. Assessment of critical thinking is also welcome.

Who May Submit:
Manuscripts are sought from those whose experiences, methods, and assessments in the high school, college, or graduate classroom have produced meaningful ways to teach critical thinking, whether in the traditional classroom, through on-line courses, or a combination of class meetings and web-based work. Manuscripts devoted to the challenges of imparting the nuances of critical thinking are also invited.

Please identify your submission with keyword: CRITICAL

Submission deadline:
On-going submission requests with cut-off date set by issue publication month. See Regular and Short submission deadline in Submission Procedure.
