Re: [tips] What Academics Are Writing About These Days...
Allen is perhaps exempt, given his background, but it seems to me that
psychologists complaining about the turgidity of other scholars' prose
is a very dangerous game to be play. If anyone is guilty of
intentionally making relatively simple ideas seem complicated by giving
them inordinately arcane labels in order to render them scientific, it
is psychologists.
My personal (anti-)favorite has always been the behaviorists' penchant
for using perseverate whne they mean simply to repeat or continue.

If anyone is guilty of intentionally making relatively simple ideas seem complicated by giving them inordinately arcane labels in order to render them scientific, it is psychologists. Chris paints, I think, with a very wide brush and very broad strokes. I hazard that the philosophers come in first when it comes to using arcane or even mundane terms in ways that are simply uninterpretable. For fun and giggles, see the following student article on the rehabilitated Nazi Martin Heidegger; see: http://www.thecrimson.com/column/the-f-word/article/2010/4/27/being-nussbaum-butler-academic/ Favorite line: |Encountering impossible semantic permutations of the word “being”—capitalized |and uncapitalized, infinitive and participle, singular and plural—I took to narrating |the most esoteric examples aloud. What else could I do with a phrase like “Being |means the Being of beings”? And how about this conclusion: |In the end, beyond elucidating the question of being, Heidegger taught me that |all academic disciplines are forms of gibberish—specialized lexicons that must |be mastered before they can glean any insights. Each is comical in its own way, |whether through overzealous use of the word “being” or too much C++. Note: the article gets extra point for links to the Postmodern Generator and the Bad Writing Contest websites. My personal (anti-)favorite has always been the behaviorists' penchant for using perseverate whne they mean simply to repeat or continue. Ah, come on, stop beating up on the behaviorists. Everyone knows that you have to go to the phenomenologists in order to get authenic gibberish. ;-) -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

[tips] What's Direct Instruction? (was Re: NCLB Worries Scientists) #2
Some subscribers to TIPS and AERA-TEP-SIG128 might be interested in What's Direct Instruction? (was Re: NCLB Worries Scientists) #2 [Hake (2010). The abstract reads: ABSTRACT: In response to my post Re: NCLB Worries Scientists, which included reference to Will the No Child Left Behind Act Promote Direct Instruction of Science? [Hake (2005)], Chemed-L's Scitch wrote (paraphrasing): 'Direct Instruction' has a very specific meaning in K-12 education, is not 'pure lecture,' and has been defined by John Hattie (2008) in 'Visible Learning'. I disagree with Scitch that there is any general agreement in K-12 or elsewhere on the meaning of either Direct Instruction or direct instruction. Instead, I agree with Klahr and Li that those engaged in discussions about implications and applications of educational research [should] focus on clearly defined instructional methods and procedures, rather than vague labels and outmoded '-isms.'
