Di Muro, Paola – NADE Digest, 2006
At some point between elementary and junior high school, something seems to occur that generates a rooted dislike toward the scientific disciplines in general and mathematics in particular.

Forell, K. Leigh Hamm – NADE Digest, 2005
Although Language and Literacy research has become an impetus for change in the K-12 arena, Developmental and Adult Education practices have evolved little as a result of such inquiries.

Poindexter, Starletta Barber – NADE Digest, 2005
