Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy--Implications of Science Education Research for Teachers.
Power, Colin
Science Education, v68 n2 p179-93 Apr 1984
Categorizes researchers as tinkers, tailors, soldiers, and spies and discusses how each group contributes to the improvement of science education. Tinkers direct attention to content of children's minds; tailors focus on cognitive processes and development; spies consider classroom interactions; and soldiers believe best solutions come from those working directly in schools.
