Through the 3 year research, we obained the following resutls :
1.

This inventory proved to have good psychometric properties, such as criteria-relevant validities and reliabilties.

nses that underlye arguments constitute an integral part of creative thinking, we have developed a training program for cultivating monitoring skills that promote multi-perspective thinking, and examained the change process of discussion skills and attitudes toward discussions.
4. Naive conceptions of discussion activities : We examined college students' and children's naive conceptions and knowledge of discussion activities and significance attached. -Furthermore, we systematically surveyed children's evaluation toward discussions and problems they experience in discussion, and proposed guidlines for developing a program of effective dialogue-type instructions in classroom and for designing an appropriate environment for such class instructions.
5. Application of LTD Learning method into practice : We elaborated procedures and scripts for LTD learning method. Through their repeated application into classroom practice, we demonstrated that LTD learning method effectively promotes interpersonal skills, critical/creative thinking, and empathic understanding toward others.
