Fostering Student and Teacher Competence: Exposing the Lies.
Dancy, Linda Caldwell
Hands On, n50 p11-12 Spr 1995
A teacher relates how Foxfire and authentic assessment have changed her view of teaching, learning, and the nature of classwork itself. Proposes that conventional education not only supports belief in a large competence gap between students and teachers, but also perpetuates misconceptions concerning the nature of knowledge, self-worth, and growth.
