written by Arnold B. Arons and Robert Karplus
edited by Thomas C. Thaden-Koch and Robert G. Fuller

Arons and Karplus discuss how few students transition from concrete reasoning patterns to formal operations on Piagetian tasks. They infer that the educational system is not contributing significantly to intellectual development (abstract logical reasoning) and argue that explicit awareness of the problem, and measures to attack it, must begin in the colleges and universities. In particular, they note that these institutions educate teachers and can take the lead in addressing the issue.
