Not Talking Past Each Other: Cultural Roles in Education Research
Three Categories of Cultural Knowledge Useful in Doing Cultural Therapy
Some Contributions of Anthropology to Professional Education
T hese books, which have been stacking up on my desk the last two years, supposedly represent the latest in the subdiscipline of anthropology and education. What excited me were the sections of these books that sought to develop an ethnology or theoretical perspective of education as distinct from an ethnography of education and the attempts to implement the ethnography of education. The books are both methodological (descriptive and scientific) …

The Inductive Case Study Approach to Teaching Anthropology
We present an approach to teaching cultural anthropology that combines an inductive method and ethnographic case studies. From introductory courses to graduate-level seminars, the inductive case study approach combines written materials, films, and other aids to allow students to discover culture. CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, CASE STUDIES, INDUCTIVE METHOD
Instrumental Competence, Self-Efficacy, Linguistic Minorities, and Cultural Therapy: A Preliminary Attempt at Integration
Concepts centering on the self and its adaptations to academic success and failure are related to each other and to "cultural therapy." Self-efficacy, as drawn from recent work in academic psychology, and instrumental competence, as drawn from the Spindlers' model of instrumental relations are identified as similar, but with the latter stressing more the culturally required performance aspect and less the inner-oriented self aspect. The adaptatio…
Cultural Dialogue and Schooling in Schoenhausen and Roseville: A Comparative Analysis
Our study examines schooling cross-culturally by looking at two examples of school culture. We suggest that the recent movement in educational anthropology and ethnography away from cross-cultural or comparative focus to concerns with classrooms, schools, and schooling in our own society may have contributed to a blurring of focus on culture itself. We define what is meant by the study of culture and then discuss our current research in Schoenhau…

Do Anthropologists Need learning Theory?1
After a flurry of attention to and use of explicit learning theory by anthropologists in the 1940s, few direct citations of it appear in anthropological work. This paper explores current psychological learning theory, including social learning; resolution of dissonance, coercive persuasion, compliance, latent learning, discovery learning, guided learning, and information-processing models to see what might be useful to anthropologists. LEARNING T…
