Dobrin, Sidney I. – Environmental Education Research, 2010
By way of reclamation of the metaphor "green," this paper contends that research regarding the relationships between children's literatures and cultures and environmental experience requires a reinvigorated consideration of the role of the visual.

Orellana, Marjorie Faulstich; D'warte, Jacqueline – Educational Researcher, 2010
The authors consider how the National Early Literacy Panel's decision to focus on identifying precursors to "conventional" literacy skills shaped the questions asked, conclusions drawn, and take-home message of the panel's 2008 report. They suggest that this approach may keep the field of literacy research from seeing and valuing other kinds of…

Klasek, Catherine Huey – ProQuest LLC, 2010
This paper addresses my experience with a group of 11th grade students and their reading of The Grapes of Wrath (1939, 2002) by John Steinbeck. I questioned how the application of visual arts integration strategies, specifically the use of spontaneously created paintings, might influence the reader responses of my high school junior-level…

Toma, J. Douglas – Association for the Study of Higher Education, 2010
Doug Lederman's article, "Sports Subsidies Soar," discusses the issue on institutional subsidies for sports program.

This…

Black, Paul; McCormick, Robert – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2010
In introducing the articles in this issue, Black and McCormick are struck by two features. The first is that they comprise a rich set of resources for stimulating further thinking about tertiary education. The second, which follows from the first, is that they raise possibilities for further development of this field. They draw attention, in…

In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, where acquisition of English is the ultimate goal, one of the main tasks for the teacher is to provide students with language input and activities that best aid them in their learning process. As different researchers have reported, including poetry-based activities in the EFL classroom is…

Bender-Slack, Delane – Feminist Teacher: A Journal of the Practices, Theories, and Scholarship of Feminist Teaching, 2009
Studies on gender discourses in classrooms have specifically examined how students negotiate their individual gender identities while disregarding their lived realities within a historical context.

In this article, the authors comment on Andrew Coulson's "Comparing Public, Private, and Market Schools: The International Evidence."

In defending tests of cognitive abilities, knowledge, or skills (CAKS) from the skepticism of their "family members, friends, and neighbors" and aiding psychologists forced to defend tests from "myth and hearsay" in their own skeptical social networks (p. 215), Sackett, Borneman, and Connelly focused on evaluating validity coefficients, racial or…

Wicherts, Jelte M.; Millsap, Roger E. – American Psychologist, 2009
Sacked, Borne man, and Connelly recently discussed several criticisms that are often raised against the use of cognitive tests in selection.
