Taking Practitioner Inquiry Seriously: An Argument with Stephen North.

Rankin, Elizabeth

Rhetoric Review, v8 n2 p260-67 Spr 1990

Considers Stephen North's recent journal article, "The Making of Knowledge in Composition." Criticizes North's perception that education practitioners have private knowledge regarding what works in class and his implication that all practitioner claims to knowledge are equally valid. Argues that such claims are best verified by dialectic methods. (SG)
