Authorizing Students' Perspectives: Toward Trust, Dialogue, and Change in Education.
Cook-Sather, Alison
Educational Researcher, v31 n4 p3-14 May 2002
Recommends attending to students' perspectives in education, critiquing various recent attempts to listen to students, including constructivist and critical pedagogies, postmodern and poststructural feminisms, educational researchers' and social critics' work, and recent developments in medicine and law. Contextualizes two challenges of authorizing students' perspectives: change in mindset and changes in the structures in educational relationships and institutions. (Contains references.) (SM)
