The Eye of the Beholder: A Response to "Sociomoral Atmosphere...A Study of Teachers' Enacted Interpersonal Understanding."

Gersten, Russell

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v6 n4 p529-37 Dec 1991

The observational study of effective instructional processes in kindergarten by DeVries and others is critiqued. It is maintained that (1) the study takes a narrow approach to constructivism that does not reflect current thinking; (2) there are flaws in the coding system used; and (3) the understanding of instructional issues involving minority students is constricted.
