The Effect of Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) Approach to Students Critical Thinking Skills Niphon Chanlen Science Education Prof. Brian Hand

What is SWH? Science-inquiry approach Integrating literacy into science classroom Focusing on claim and evidence, and argumentation

Cornell Critical Thinking Test “Critical thinking is reasonable and reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do” (Ennis, Millman and Tomko, 2005) 5 Subscales Induction Deduction Observation Credibility Assumption Content independent test/ Score: 0-76

Procedure Experiment group The SWH professional development –(Pre) The Cornell Critical Thinking Tests –Baseline Test –ITBS Test –Implementing the SWH approach –(Post) The Cornell Critical Thinking Tests

Procedure Control group –(Pre) The Cornell Critical Thinking Tests –ITBS Test –Implementing the any approach –(Post) The Cornell Critical Thinking Tests

Participants SWH (N)Control (N) Teacher116 Student300 (5 th -6 th )200 (5 th -8 th )
