Reviews
"Those who are concerned with promoting general cognitive attainment will find that knowledge-transforming writing is a powerful tool for achieving that end. Scholars with a primary interest either in writing or in cognitive science will find much of interest both in the specific experimental techniques that Bereiter and Scardamalia describe and in the overall conceptual framework of the volume."
