A Cognitive Window into Year 3 Students' Social Thinking Processes
Knowles, Anne L.; Smith, Thomas R.
International Journal of Christianity & Education, v25 n3 p310-336 Nov 2021
This work focused on increasing Year 3 students' use of critical thinking and taking the "second-person perspective" (2ndPP) when interpreting and resolving life issues. Previous research indicated the Personal Viewpoints Pedagogy (PVP) elicited social thinking that exhibited strong perspective-taking and precursors to critical thinking -- "incipient critical thinking" (ICrT). A 10-lesson curriculum with PVP applied to narratives from the Book of Acts, and a 'do unto others' focus (ActsPVP Curriculum) was taught. Pre- and post-test comparisons using a 'Stealing Scenario' to judge heart-based thoughts and attitudes (Heb 4:12) indicated that 2ndPP and ICrT increased support of the PVP's impact on social thinking processes.
