[Fwd: TCRecord This Week: Considerations of the Peer-Review Process]
From: Rick (rlarson_at_TeacherArtExchange)
I got this from the Teacher College TC record. Thought I'd pass it
attached mail follows:
TCRecord for the Week of May 27th, 2002 -- http://www.tcrecord.org
This week TCRecord Takes on Two Contentious Issues:
Peer Review - Merit-Based Procedure or Closed Network of Privilege and Power?
Claims of status, privilege, and obligation remain largely implicit and unexamined. My hope is that by continuing to scrutinize the practice of peer review the community of scholars will attend to both the productive matters of quality and efficiency and the institutional concerns of access and legitimacy.
So writes Ross Mitchell in:
Peer Review: Who is a Peer and How Should One Behave?
Mitchell challenges the position taken by Gary Natriello in:
Time and the Review Process
===================================================================
Plus Reviews of Three New Books on Reading
Patrick Groff reviews:
He concludes that:
This book on SFA thus is less useful to educators than would be one on its subject arranged so as to allow advocates of SFA to defend it, and then to be challenged by SFA antagonists, and vice versa.
Mike Currier reviews:
Currier concludes that the book is:
..a valuable resource of significant information and viewpoints about the nature of the reading act, the essential aspects of learning to read and of not learning to read, and the processes needed to transform reading education in our elementary schools today.
Julie Nora reviews:
Nora observes:
Prepackaged literacy materials have recently entered the education market and make similar claims as the quick fix solutions to the literacy "crisis" in our nation’s schools. While some of these materials may have real value, others are, in fact, harmful to the very children they aim to serve.
