-----------------------------------------------
Nominations are now open for the Year 2002 Sylvia Scribner Award of Division C
of the American Educational Research Association. The award recognizes a
program of work that has significantly influenced thinking and research in
the field of learning and instruction. In particular, the annual award is
designed to honor current research (i.e., within the last ten years) that
represents a significant advancement in our understanding of learning and
instruction. The recognized work may include but is not limited to research
articles, paper series, monographs, book chapters, and/or books. This
includes collaborative teams as well as individuals.
The work of the late Sylvia Scribner, for whom the award is named, reflects a
wide range of
research concerns within the field of learning, cognition, and education. Her
research focused on cognition in relation to society and culture, and drew on
a range of methodologies, cut across disciplinary boundaries, addressed
multiple sites for learning and development, and included older and younger
learners. The Sylvia Scribner Award is designed to honor work that reflects
any methodology or conceptual perspective for research on learning and
instruction, so all research methodologies and perspectives on learning and
instruction that are represented in Division C are eligible for the award.
The recipient of the award need not belong to Division C.
Anyone may make a nomination, including a self-nomination. The nominator
should send a letter containing: (1) the complete bibliographic citation of a
single publication designated by the nominator as illustrative or
representative of the nominee's larger research program, (2) complete
bibliographic citations of up to five additional relevant publications of the
nominee, (3) a supporting statement of no more than 300 words, and (4) vita
of the nominee. When possible, the nominator should submit a copy of the
representative publication. If the publication is a book or monograph, the
nominator should indicate which portion of it (approximately 25 pages) should
be reproduced for dissemination to the award committee.
