This chapter presents a strategy for the enhancement of children’s cognitive functioning based on the work of the philosopher, Matthew Lipman. It explains and discusses Lipman’s approach and compares it with that of Feuerstein and his colleagues. It then describes the adaptation of Lipman’s ideas to accommodate the current contexts and needs of teachers in South Africa, and the application and empirical evaluation of these modified learning materials in selected classrooms. The final section discusses the value and challenges of this type of intervention.
