By Carl J. Jung (2005) in Journal of Developmental Education; 28.3 (2005): 2-11. Author's Abstract: The guiding premise of this article is that developmental education and learning assistance programs will continue to be undervalued and vulnerable as long as there is no overarching, shared theoretical framework that practitioners can (and want to) call their own. The traditional approach to addressing this theory crisis has been to import theories from outside the field. This article presents an alternative approach. Advantages and benefits of a practice-oriented approach are identified and briefly discussed. Full text by subscription. Check with your local library.

Mentioned by L.H. in Developing a Pedagogy Matters Manifesto. She includes this quote by Kay McClenney: "If we can't find ways to more effectively educate beyond the high school level, larger numbers of our population, including especially those that have traditionally been underserved, we as a country are going to sink like a rock. This is not the right time in our history to be saying, oh, we were only kidding about educational opportunity to low-income people, students of color, first generation college students. They're the future. They are the growing majority of the American population and we can't choose to close that door."

This is included in the Pedagogy Matters! Book, category: Assessment. Also mentioned in Introduction to Formative Assessment

Two assessment techniques from this book mentioned in Instructional Strategies:Reflection/Meta-cognition: The Minute Paper" and "Muddiest Point." "They help teachers determine whether students are picking up on important ideas. Teachers get snapshots of where students are struggling so that teachers can adjust instruction--for example, spending more time reviewing a key concept. These strategies also benefit students. Students have to attend to what they have just learned, maybe synthesize concepts from various lectures, and articulate what they know and do not know. Students generally do not take time to think about their thinking, or to try to express their struggles. Therefore, they are unlikely to get to a stage where they can formulate solutions for problems they are having."
