Rupp, Andre A. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2012
In the focus article of this issue, von Davier, Naemi, and Roberts essentially coupled: (1) a short methodological review of structural similarities of latent variable models with discrete and continuous latent variables; and (2) 2 short empirical case studies that show how these models can be applied to real, rather than simulated, large-scale…

Nowacek, Rebecca S. – Research in the Teaching of English, 2007
Despite the general trend to embrace interdisciplinarity in post-secondary education, we remain remarkably unclear concerning what we mean by interdisciplinarity and how it is achieved. Reporting on research conducted in a team-taught interdisciplinary course, I propose a new way of conceptualizing interdisciplinary connections, grounded in…

Valletta, Clement L.; Paoletti, Robert A. – Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, 1995
States that research and writing begin with a play of determinacy and indeterminacy, including presuppositions, formal findings, and technical and media products. Finds that this rhetorical approach leads to identifying levels and relationships. Suggests a typology for furthering dialog in science, literary criticism, and technical writing. (PA)

Nurnberg, Peter J.; Schneider, Erich R.; Leggett, John J. – 1996
This paper examines two fields that contribute to research on digital libraries--information systems and orality-literary studies--and applies them to a particular digital library domain, botanical taxonomic work. Topics discussed include: (1) an introduction to HOSS (i.e., a computationally-oriented hypermedia system) architecture, including the…

Ward, Paul L. – Soundings, 1981
Any given academic discipline appeals to and utilizes more than one mode of knowledge; most subject matter disciplines are "interdisciplinary." To be truly educated is to have learned which intellectual difficulties to take as challenges and which to put in their place as matters of personalities or fads. (MLW)

Berninger, Virginia W. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2001
It is argued the proposed definition of dyslexia is restricted to developmental dyslexia in which a student struggles to learn to read and does not apply to acquired dyslexia in which a previously normal reader loses reading functions. The need for classification schemes for defining specific learning disabilities is emphasized. (Contains…

Smith, Allen – Social Studies, 1985
The mastery of the reasoning skills of observation, classification, serialization, and spatial relationships is not solely within the province of social studies but also falls heavily upon students' acquisition of concepts, skills, and operations in mathematics. Each of these skills, as they relate to social studies and math, is discussed. (RM)

Discussion of bibliometric analysis of interdisciplinary research in emerging fields focuses on a study of neural networks research that examined citation analyses, publishing patterns and subject terms, and journal subject classification. Roles that journals can play in interdisciplinary information transfer are considered. (Contains 42…

This current response to a 1968 article by Ray Barsch (EC 602 662) notes lack of progress in defining and classifying learning disabilities and in determining appropriate interventions to help students with learning disabilities. The paper distinguishes among three types of learning problems and notes the need for individualized transdisciplinary…

Lovitt, Thomas C. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1992
This commentary on a reprinted 1968 article by Ray Barsch (EC 602 662) considers each of Barsch's perspectives on learning disabilities (history, disciplines, education, teacher preparation, province, and time) and concludes that a perspective comparing now to then finds that students with learning disabilities are now significantly better served.…

Swigger, Keith – Library and Information Science Research, 1985
Reviews the research and commentary on individuals' questions and specific reference queries that characterize two general approaches in librarianship and other disciplines: question itself as phenomenon of questioner's behavior, linguistic performance, or cognitive state; interaction between question and answer focusing on appropriateness of…

Cohn, Ellen R. – EDUCAUSE Quarterly, 2004
Colleges and universities increasingly employ commercial Web-based course management systems (such as Blackboard and WebCT). How is it, then, that these institutions unquestioningly allocate a unique Web site to each class? Why establish one Web site for one course when other options provide so many benefits? Why isn't there a clamor for…

Barsch, Ray H. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1992
This article, originally published in 1968, examines learning disabilities from the perspectives of history, disciplines (calling for interdisciplinary convergence), education (viewing learning disabilities as a concept rather than a category), teacher preparation, province (evaluating the appropriateness of various delivery systems), and time…
