Description¶

The paper states CRITO is compatible with most forms of collaborative or cooperative learning and recommends small group work, especially pairs, in which "students alternate between presenting their work andlistening to and commenting critically on another's work." This alternation is said to facilitate each successive stage of principled reason and objection assessment.
