Pearson, Jenny Watson; Santa, Carol M. – Journal of Reading, 1995
Describes how a high school English teacher helped her students learn about background knowledge, organization, metacognition, discussion, and writing by experimentally investigating their own learning. Notes that this approach helped students feel more ownership in their work and in their own knowledge about learning. (SR)
