- Title
Formal Reasoning, Achievement, and Intelligence: An Issue of Importance.
- Authors
Lawson, Anton E.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the emergence of science curriculum development projects in the U.S. The projects aim to increase students' ability to employ scientific or formal reasoning strategies such as the isolation and control of variables, correlational, proportional and probabilistic reasoning in the solution of problems. It is suggested that students' ability to employ reasoning strategies would allow them to be successful in other academic pursuits. Moreover, improvements in formal reasoning could also have an application in everyday life.
