    Reason-giving in A Social Context

    Edited by Margaret L. McLaughlin, Michael J. Cody, Stephen John Read ...
    Series series Routledge Communication Series

There has been little recognition that many, if not most, explanations are eventually delivered to a hearer or hearers. These potential audiences constrain the way the explanation is ultimately shaped. Similarly, researchers have devoted themselves to the study of "accounts," for the most part without an accompanying ... Read more

    An Introduction

    by R. Lachman, J. L. Lachman, E. C. Butterfield ...
    First published in 1979. Basic research, at its essence, is exploration of the unknown. When it is successful, isolated pieces of reality are deciphered and described. Most of the history of an empirical discipline consists of probes into this darkness-some bold, others careful and systematic. Most of these efforts are initially incorrect. At best, they are distant approximations to a reality that ... Read more

  • Test Theory for A New Generation of Tests

    Edited by Norman Frederiksen, Robert J. Mislevy, Isaac I. Bejar ...

Different models are useful for different purposes; therefore, broader or alternative student models may be appropriate. ... Read more
