“I agree, the more cultural and ethnic diversity involved the more accurate the
result of the research. People from different background tend to have different
belief which shows up in the way they educate their children.”
•
“I agree with you too. I think that's why many students abilities are misinterpeted
or there is misconceptions, because of the preconceptions that has been placed
upon them.”
•
“I will have to agree, we live in a City that is very diverse, i feel that is the study
would have been conducted with a more diverse group the results might have
been a little diffrent since, diffrent cultures have diffrent morals & beliefs.”
•
“I would also have to agree. Hos would that work in NYC with all the diversity?
I don't think it would.”
These comments show students and me in a critical thinking dialogue about the
research.
Text : Then she interviewed both of each child's parents, and observed their
interactions at home and in her research laboratory. (yellow, “mine”)
Corresponding Comment: Me: “Good methodology.”
Although no students commented on this text segment, they could learn from
the “expert” about the soundness of the research methodology.
Text : Baumrind found four important dimensions on which parents differed:
1. Expressions of warmth or nurturance, ranging from very affectionate to quite
cold.
2. Discipline strategies including criticism, physical punishment, explanation,
and/or persuasion.
