Critical Thinking and Transferability: A Review of the Literature

http://www.comcol.umass.edu/dbc/pdfs/Reece_LitReview.pdf

Gwendolyn Reece might have written a traditional research paper describing the history of critical thinking in American education and containing quotations from scholarly sources to support her ideas. Instead, she presents a literature review focusing on the scholarly sources themselves. Reece explains how scholarly opinion has developed over time, where leading scholars agree and disagree, what sources carry more authority than others, and finally where more research is needed.
