Some subscribers to TIPS may be interested in a recent post "Is
Scientifically-based Education an Oxymoron? Reply To Bracey" [Hake
(2009)].
The abstract reads:
**************************************
ABSTRACT: In response to my post "Is Scientifically-based Education
an Oxymoron?" Jerry Bracey wrote: "Jay Mathews did indeed invite
readers to kick sand in our faces. I suggest, however, it might be
wise to read [my book] before doing such." I agree and APOLOGIZE for
kicking sand in Bracey's face by criticizing Bracey's Lesson #8 and
the Bracey/Mathews comments as given by Mathews, who may have
oversimplified Bracey's position. Bracey also suggests that
objections to Lesson #8 would be strengthened if a few poets could be
enlisted to argue for a science of education. But a poet has already
done so - myself! ;-) whose poetic prowess is proven by
presentation of a perfect poem.
