Groups: Theory and Experience

Rating:
Summary: Questionable Reference Causes Doubt
Review: On page 19, under the heading of Selective Perception and Communication, the authors indicate that "research" has shown that grades received by teachers reveal bias of the teacher as opposed to the actual level of knowledge of the child. Two specific examples are provided but WITHOUT citation to the supposed research. Since the research material is so well documented in the rest of the book, I question why they did not make the citation available here. I would like to read this research but am left without the option to find it myself. Ironically, my view of everything that I read in this book from this point on will be tarnished by this experience.

Review: The authors have been around for a long time, but they still have fresh ideas. Anyone interested in the complexity of groups, should read this book. It is wonderful.
