2010 SYLVIA SCRIBNER AWARD
Call for Nominations
Helen Patrick, Chair
Dan Hickey, Co-Chair
Deadline: January 11, 2010
Nominations are open for the 2010 Sylvia Scribner Award of Division
C of the American Educational Research Association. The award
recognizes a program of work by a Division C member 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.
Professor Scribner’s research also cut across disciplinary
boundaries, addressed multiple sites for learning and development,
and included older and younger learners.

The nominator also should submit a copy of the representative
