Aslin, Lauren – Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, 1999
Regards Poole's book for inservice and preservice teachers addressing questions about how, why, and when to use educational technology as well-organized and comprehensive. Notes a contradiction about the teacher's relationship to technology and pedagogy; highlights Poole's suggestions for addressing, on site, teachers' lack of knowledge about…

Porter, Andrew C. – Education Statistics Quarterly, 2001
Describes the timely and useful information about education in the United States found in "The Condition of Education" and points out some key pieces of information that are missing. The most glaring omission is information about instructional practices, and a second omission is in the area of teacher knowledge. (SLD)

Singer, Judith D. – Review of Educational Research, 1993
Expresses doubts about whether the evidence presented by M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg provides robust and consistent findings that could, or should, be used to inform educational policy and practice. Discusses five questions about the methodology of the study, and indicates that basing educational policy on their findings would be merely an…

Wang, Margaret C.; Walberg, Herbert J.; Haertel, Geneva D. – Review of Educational Research, 1993
Explores the role and purpose of research synthesis, and defends the conclusions drawn about school learning. The selection of the broad outcome "school learning" was an attempt to show that educational research and development can answer important questions about schooling. (SLD)

(PKP)

Kliebard, Herbert M. – Review of Educational Research, 1993
Asserts that the central problem of the analysis by M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg is that they tend to view the teacher, at least implicitly, as the compliant beneficiary of the knowledge of the educational researcher. Any knowledge base that aims to affect classroom practice should take into account and respect the teacher's world.…

Palincsar, Annemarie Sullivan; McPhail, Jean C. – Review of Educational Research, 1993
Asserts that because M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg never clarify the contours of their "knowledge base for school learning," it is difficult to know what their broad-based comparison of research studies has really yielded. Explores dilemmas posed by the methodology of the study. (SLD)

Levin, Joel R. – Review of Educational Research, 1993
Considers the potential impact of the study by M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg. Their analysis is the first step in understanding and explaining the factors that really do make a positive difference in quality of school learning, rather than simply describing associations between school-related input and output measures.

Peterson, Penelope L. – Review of Educational Research, 1993
Explores what the "knowledge base for school learning" described by M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg might mean for education by describing some cases of school learning from fieldwork in elementary schools. The focus is on psychological dimensions of school learning. (SLD)

Kerdeman, Deborah; Phillips, D. C. – Review of Educational Research, 1993
Asserts that the reductionistic methodology used by M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg in their study does not do justice to the educational phenomena they wish to illuminate. In addition, these authors have too simple a view of the relationship between educational research and educational practice. (SLD)

Hedges, Larry V.; Waddington, Tad – Review of Educational Research, 1993
M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg have produced a summary of the bivariate relationships that influence learning. The problem is how to convert such evidence into knowledge, and the knowledge into policy. Discusses how health science provides a guide for making the conversion from evidence to policy. (SLD)

Elmore, Richard F. – Review of Educational Research, 1993
Asserts that reviews like that of M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg are stimulating and useful in thinking about educational research, but they are nearly useless in thinking about educational policy and practice. It is not clear what is meant by "knowledge base," and the finding about proximal and distal variables is simplistic. (SLD)
