*2006 SYLVIA SCRIBNER AWARD*
*Call for Nominations*
*P. Karen Murphy, Chair*
Deadline: February 4, 2006
Nominations are open for the 2006 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 award is named in honor of the late Sylvia Scribner. Professor
Scribner's work reflects a wide range of concerns within the field of
cognition, particularly learning and instruction. Her research focused on
the relationship between cognition and culture. Her work involved innovative
mixing of methods, including experimental simulations of everyday cognitive
tasks and ethnographic fieldwork. Her work cut across disciplinary
boundaries, addressed multiple sites for learning and development, and
included older and younger learners.
