Developing Reflective Thinking in the Process of Learning Activity

摘要

The results described in this book offer an understanding of the emergence of reflective-theoretical thinking and a sense of the field of research into this problem. This field is associated with the exploration of the dialectical mutual mediation of ideas about constructive contentful analysis, thinking's planning function, premeditated searching, and reflection. In essence, what is being studied here is the genesis of the thought act, which is realized as the unity of these main components of thinking and arises under conditions of the specially organized activity of adult and child. The requirements imposed on the researching and diagnosing of the bases of reflective thinking and on determining the learning situations that promote the development of such thinking in children are therefore far from trivial.
