Once tested, students are often grouped and instructed according to the results. The tests are designed to determine a student’s competency in grade level subjects. Therefore, one infers a high score is a high performance. High performance is then equated with intellectualism.

In particular I am interested in the two questions at the end of your post, regarding the limits of the mechanisms of public discourse and how education researchers and practitioners can improve the alefsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033301044660594217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897286065374355890.post-19647998926652203292008-04-07T18:04:00.000-07:002008-04-07T18:04:00.000-07:00Mouna, you ask for my thoughts about bringing the ...Mouna, you ask for my thoughts about bringing the participants of educational studies into the mix. I’d like to see others respond to this – especially Meno – but my short answer would be the richer the discussion the better. The discussions at scholarly meetings can sure get insular.
