DeVries, Rheta – Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 1991
Offers a rebuttal to Giyoo Hatano's commentary on a study on sociomoral development in the kindergarten classroom. It is suggested that the danger in restricting evaluation to stated goals is that unintended negative effects will not be recognized. (LB)

Struening, against the stern, if not wholly unreasonable standard: that a handbook should be a mosaic depicting the central concerns, and contributions of its field. The reviewers are members of the Stanford Evaluation Consortium, which is a group of about 20…
