Re: [xmca] Fwd: New Open Access Journal human_ontogenetics

When I read Mike's subject line, I thought "too bad it's 'ontogenetics'
instead of 'ontogenesis'.

Then I read the quoted text, and was in the midst of a big sigh myself
when I read Mike's "sigh."

Amidst all the other problems in so short a text, I see this use of
"development." I've often been struck by what seems like a great
difference between what folks here mean by "development," and what it
means to so many "developmental psychologists," in education, anyway.

I'm sure there's an array of meanings, not just two or three. But what
"development" means in CHAT, and how that meaning differs from others
taken-for-granted by our colleagues, is not often articulated (since it
doesn't need to be when people understand each other).

It occurs to me that the KEYWORDS list, in addition to serving as a list
of possible keywords for searching the database, could also be a list of
terms that might warrant more extensive discussion (& socially generated
conceptual "development") in the online wiki. In case anybody would be
interest in doing something like that, I started a page at
http://tw-curricuwiki.wikispaces.com/development_concept

The page is linked from the term "development" in the KEYWORDS list at
http://tw-curricuwiki.wikispaces.com/xmcakeywords

Pages can be started for discussion of other terms on the KEYWORDS list.
Anyone can add to or edit a page that's already been started. To start a
new page, anybody here is welcome to do it, but you need to become a
member of the wiki first.
