There are several complex issues in Juanita's note that we are very anxious
for feedbac on.
Try this one on. In order to gain insight into (lets say) ethic variations
in optimal learning conditions, is it necessary to donconduct research with
people of more than one ethnicity?
Carol Lee et al in their article argue that treating ethnic groups as
homogenous is pernicious and misleading. Why not focus on intra-group
variations and their susceptibility to modification through environmental
design?
I argue the comparative work is necessary BOTH between and WITHIN ethnic
groups (using differing instructional arrangments) to arrive at conclusions
concering a particular "eth". Juanita is unconvinced.
Et vous?
