A Short and Unscientific Evaluation of Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery

Abstract

Introduction:  Massive studies which consider all sorts of variables and control for specific factors are important to our understanding of the educational process.  Equally important to our understanding of education are indepth case studies of classroom activities.  A poor step-child of these well planned an carefully considered research undertakings are the teacher developed "feedback" forms.  While this type of information gathering may not take a major impact on the shaping of educational policy or contributions to pedagogic theory, it can provide classroom teachers with vital and worthwhile information with the potential for changing the behavior of the teacher or supporting what is already being done.
