Inquiry and Cognitive Psychology.

Stillings, Neil A.

New Directions for Teaching and Learning, (Promoting Inquiry in Undergraduate Learning) n38 p47-54 Sum 1989

Inquiry is seen as a tension among three modes of imagination. These modes are labeled creation, self-criticism, and observation. Most people do not want to inquire. They tend to cling to their beliefs about the world. Freud's theories are used in a class designed to dramatize inquiry. (MLW)
