Sent by governance@aera.net to aera_division_c-announce@listserv.aera.net
2006 SYLVIA SCRIBNER AWARD
Call for Nominations
P. Karen Murphy, Chair
Deadline: February 4, 2006
Nominations are open for the 2006 Sylvia Scribner Award of Division C of the American Educational Research Association. The award recognizes a program of work that has significantly influenced thinking and research in the field of learning and instruction. In particular, the annual award is designed to honor current research (i.e., within the last ten years) that represents a significant advancement in our understanding of learning and instruction. The recognized work may include but is not limited to research articles, paper series, monographs, book chapters, and/or books. This includes collaborative teams as well as individuals.
The award is named in honor of the late Sylvia Scribner. Professor Scribner's work reflects a wide range of concerns within the field of cognition, particularly learning and instruction. Her research focused on the relationship between cognition and culture. Her work involved innovative mixing of methods, including experimental simulations of everyday cognitive tasks and ethnographic fieldwork. Her work cut across disciplinary boundaries, addressed multiple sites for learning and development, and included older and younger learners.
