What Is a Knowledge Base, and Who Would Use It if We Had One?

Kliebard, Herbert M.

Review of Educational Research, v63 n3 p295-303 Fall 1993

Asserts that the central problem of the analysis by M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg is that they tend to view the teacher, at least implicitly, as the compliant beneficiary of the knowledge of the educational researcher. Any knowledge base that aims to affect classroom practice should take into account and respect the teacher's world. (Author/SLD)
