Fenstermacher, Gary D.; Richardson, Virginia

Journal of Curriculum Studies, v25 n2 p101-14 Mar-Apr 1993

Discusses the use of Aristolean logic in developing practical reasoning and arguments. Asserts that practical arguments are used to explain why an individual took action based on practical reasoning. Contends that this approach should be used by teachers in applying research findings to instruction and in encouraging students to support their ideas. (CFR)
