Purpose of this blog: Reviews of interesting research in English education journals. When possible, I suggest how I might apply the findings to my own classroom.
Title: “From the Editor.” S Stotsky (Editor). Research in the Teaching of English (May 1992), 133-134.
Quote: “Thus, if a manuscript reports a well-executed piece of research with interesting or useful information for educators or researchers, the reviewers and I (the editor) will help the authors make sure that an adequate theoretical rationale frames the research questions, that these questions emerge clearly form the review of relevant literature, that the limitations of the study are explained to the reader, that educational implications are appropriately qualified, and that whatever the authors choose to say is readable by a general audience of researchers and educators. Reports of educational research should be, and can be, reader friendly to educators as well as to researchers for the optimal communication of the authors’ ideas.”
Comment: In a way, this editor’s listing of criteria for published research in English can be used as an assessment in determining the quality of a published research study, and I will use it as such.
Theoretical Rationale: 20%
Review of Relevant Literature: 20%
Questions: 20%
Limitations of Study: 10%
Implications for Classroom Qualified: 10%
Readable: 20%
