The Uses of Practitioner Research and Status Issues in Educational Research
In calling for practitioner research, Anderson highlights a number of important issues but, as Metz and Page demonstrate in their response, the questions he raises have few straightforward or unequivocal answers. Metz and Page agree that because efforts to study and improve educational practice too often impose abstract findings on schools and teachers, much may be gained from the development of a literature based in practice. They argue, however…
Intellectual Border Crossing in Graduate Education
This article reflects on the author’s experience in leading an interdisciplinary seminar that draws together doctoral students who are preparing for careers in educational research in diverse departments across a large School of Education.

The Complex Roles of the Teacher
Black and White in School
Sources of Constructive Social Relationships in an Urban Magnet School
This paper reports a qualitative study of a racially diverse urban middle school serving a population with preponderantly below-average achievement. The school had less conflictual relations between students and teachers and more voluntary interracial interaction than is commonly reported in such schools by the literature. The school was a magnet school and had some accompanying structural features which contributed to these results. But two infl…
What Can be Learned from Educational Ethnography
The ethnographer's findings are shaped, for good and for bad, by her roles as a researcher and as a person

Classrooms and Corridors
Clashes in the Classroom
This paper concentrates on incidents of severe conflict in eighth-grade classrooms observed in studies of four socially diverse junior high schools in two districts. Severe conflict is generated when teachers violate students' conceptions of the character of legitimate classroom authority. In a cosmopolitan community. within an urban complex, students of both high and low social status and academic achievement were unusually skeptical of the scho…
Order in the Secondary School
Whether one looks at concerns expressed in response to surveys or at the allocation of effort on a day to day basis, teachers and administrators give order a high priority. Order dominates attention because the fundamental character of schools as organizations makes disorder always an imminent possibility. In the first part of this paper, I will consider the reasons that order is consistently problematic in public secondary schools. I will then a…
