Reviews

...the detail with which Blagg describes the subjects, teachers, teacher training, criterion instruments, and data gives this book a unique place in the broadening array of evaluative studies of IE. -Contemporary Psychology It is not only rich with data but also with interpretations and implications for cognitive theorists, curriculum developers and project evaluators....Blagg is to be commended for providing us with one of the very few 'warts-and-all' evaluations of a real-life curriculum innovation that has potentially great significance to psychologists and educators....In presenting us with an up-to- date summary of the state of the art, he has provided an invaluable launching pad for future research and speculation in the area of children's cognitive development. -The Psychologist I commend the book to all researchers undertaking intervention studies in schools... -Special Education Perspectives ...probably the best evaluation of a thinking skills program I have seen...a model of what an evaluation can be...a real-world one, with all the problems of real-world schools...the evaluation is amazingly comprehensive, looking at both pupil and teacher performance, and using a variety of different kinds of methodologies, including paper-and-pencil tests, observations, checklists, questionnaires, and the like. This is really a class piece of work. -Robert Sternberg, Yale University, Department of Psychology
