Bodies of knowledge: Foucault and the problem of human anatomy
Many biologists believe that the difference between animal and human behaviour is a quantitative rather than a qualitative one, simply a question of complexity rather than one of fundamentally different explanatory form. While the study of epistemes might lead one to suspect that biology and human anatomy are not as universal and ahistoric as they might claim, there is other writing by Foucault which takes the problem of the body specifically as …
Papyrology
This article argues that manuscript studies is similar to papyrology. However, people are dealing with the more direct, and to that extent more ‘original’, sources, whose study expands the body of textual evidence for ancient Greece today – notably the papyri scraps of Oxyrhynchus, and the bookrolls of Herculaneum. It is true that new imaging techniques constantly improve the quantity and quality of the texts people can recover. However, upon ref…

Matching events of instruction to objectives
agreed upon, still a common thread running through proposed responses has been that instruction ought to be made more effective. But saying that instruction ought to be better does not assure that improvement will follow. The statement is an expression of intent. The implementation goes forward only when correct remedies are known. Regrettably, in the domain of instruction, a grounded conceptual basis for making decisions regarding instructional …

The intermediate school: Whither education's ugly duckling
For fifty years some educators have looked unhappily at the unsettled territory between the elementary school and the senior high school. While the existence of thousands of junior high schools and middle schools attests to the absence of a literal vacuum, the roles these institutions are expected to play lack definition. Roots of difficulties associated with the intermediate school we may trace back as far as eighty-four years to recommendations…

From time to time individual school districts produced leaders who created new programs for peculiar local needs. More commonly, local school officials served as middle men, accommodating curricula developed at the national level to their own districts' needs. Nationalization of elementary school curricula has been c…
