Abstract: | The effective use of writing in science instruction may open the way for students to grow in their ability to exercise higher
order thinking skills (Bland & Koppel, 1988). Scinto (1986) makes a compelling case for writing as a means of stimulating
thinking when he states:
The production of written text demands more elaborate strategies of preplanning. Written language demands the conscious organization
of ensembles of propositions to achieve its end. The need to manipulate linguistic means in such a conscious and deliberate
fashion entails a level of linguistic self-reflection not called forth in oral discourse (p. 101). |
