The Perry scheme is a model for understanding how college students come to understand knowledge, the ideas they hold about knowing, and the ways in which knowing is a part of the cognitive processes of thinking and reasoning.  Learners move from viewing truth in absolute terms of Right and Wrong to recognizing multiple, conflicting versions of truth representing lawful options. Perry identifies four basic stages in the evolution of an individual’s thinking.
