| Abstract | Adult learners should be exposed to critical-thinking dispositions and problem-solving skills in order to successfully use and apply these skills. Students of mathematics demonstrate a preference for skill based instruction and will often skip over word problems that require critical thinking skills in order to solve the problem. Mathematics at its best requires students to think critically. In the following study, I evaluate and reflect on the introduction of concept journaling techniques into mathematics strategies classrooms, and its impact on critical-thinking dispositions and problem-solving skills. I also present previous research in the fields of critical-thinking dispositions, problem-solving skills, and the purpose of justification of students’ statements/writing, mathematical communication, assessment, and concept journaling within a mathematics learning environment. The results of the study demonstrate the value of concept journaling in a mathematics classroom |
