Critical Reading and the Teaching of Selected Logic Concepts.
Heimann, Therese Marie
Twelve groups consisting of 277 fourth, fifth, and sixth graders participated in a study of the effects of teaching ten concepts of logical thinking, on ability to read critically. The two-month program of instruction consisted of a direct oral presentation of the ten selected concepts followed by practice in using the concepts. Analysis of results from a test of critical-reading ability indicated that the experimental treatment had had a significant effect, but it was not possible to determine if this effect were due to the concepts, the materials, or the manner of presentation.
