Editor's Notes
- #5: “Sternberg and Wagner developed a thinking styles inventory that identifies several thinking styles and sub-categories of thinking styles based on their research in self-governing using political terminology” (Bishop & Foster, p. 126).“Sternberg (1997) defined style as “a preferred way of thinking. It is not ability, but rather how we use the abilities we have (Bishop & Foster, p. 124).”
