Mechanisms of Differentiation: A Response To Roth and McGinn.
Apple, Michael W.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v35 n4 p423-25 Apr 1998
Connects taken-for-granted activities to the micropolitics of differentiation in institutions such as schools. This is done by employing theoretical traditions taken from cultural studies of science and from philosophies not often found within the science education community. Analyzes the mechanisms through which grading works as a technology of differentiation and normalization. (PVD)
