Discusses models in inquiry and of instruction based on critical Fallibilistic philosophy, developed by Karl R. Popper, which holds that all knowledge grows by conjecture and refutation. Classroom applications of strategies which result from the model are presented. (JP)

Outlines a guided discovery activity for ascertaining the conditions which allow for the correct tracing of networks. (JP)

Offers a variety of specific techniques which will help the beginning teacher to implement reflective methodology and create an inquiry-centered classroom atmosphere, at the same time meeting the many more pressing demands of first-year teaching. (JES)

Technics for providing campuswide discussion of issues and problems through sensitivity training methods are suggested. (Editor)
