Evaluation and the Attribution Process: A Critique and A Proposal
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sasfy, Joseph; Okun, Morris – College Student Journal, 1975
Importance of evaluation in the instructional process was discussed. Two models are presented; one outlines traditional instructional procedures and their impact on learners and the attribution of evaluations. A second model is offered which, by giving learners choices in the instructional process, can return evaluation to a meaningful diagnostic…

Teaching Thinking Through Problem Solving.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Greenfield, Lois Broder – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 1987
Attempts to determine the skills that make people good problem solvers and some of the methods that have been developed to teach these skills are reviewed. Methods used by educators and psychologists to define, describe, or analyze problems and problem solving determine the method used to teach problem-solving skills. (Author/MLW)

Collection Evaluation for Interdisciplinary Fields: A Comprehensive Approach.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dobson, Cynthia; And Others – Journal of Academic Librarianship, 1996
Collection development for interdisciplinary areas is more complex than for traditionally well-defined disciplines, so new evaluation methods are needed. This article identifies variables in interdisciplinary fields and presents a model of their typical information components. Traditional use-centered and materials-centered evaluation methods…

The Courts of Reason and Law: A Comparative Model.
Fadely, Dean – 1982
College debaters who go to law school are often surprised by the differences between the processes that take place in the court of reason and the process that takes place in the court of law. The court of reason relies mainly on authoritative testimony, while the court of law relies on direct evidence. Evidence in the court of reason is either…
