Notice that Hagevik does not fall into the trap that many teachers do and simply ask the students to decide which energy source would be best for their country. This invites students to make quick, if not impulsive decisions decisions that may express their opinions but that may not be based on careful thinking at all. This radio talk show paradigm a paradigm also promoted by much advertising they are exposed to which often presents one quick and appealing side of a case and then tries to induce viewers to act on this through the use of compelling and appealing images is not a good one for teaching to help improve students’ thinking. Rather,Hagevik has taken the time to work with the students to make this strategy for careful and skillful decision making explicit, and then sets as a ground-rule for this activity that they use it in an organized way. But she realizes that just saying this is not enough. This is the first time her students have been exposed to this strategy, and old habits don’t leave us so easily, so she continues the lesson by actually guiding them through it. Lets see how she does that.
