Affective and behavioural variables: reforms as experiments to produce a civil society
Fitz‐Gibbon, Carol T.
Affective and behavioural variables: reforms as experiments to produce a civil society created by Carol T. Fitz‐Gibbon - An international journal of experimental educational psychology Volume 26 , number 2, .
Affective and behavioural indicators of the effects of schooling, and of other interventions, might be more important than cognitive indicators, particularly in the long run and considering the urgent need for civil societies. Examples are provided of the statistical properties of affective and behavioural indicators, and of their current use in schools. Evidence is presented concerning the outcomes from some interventions that might be among those to be avoided, such as counselling and mentoring, and those that might usefully be adopted, such as cross‐age tutoring. It is urged that monitoring (cf. epidemiology) and hundreds of reforms as experiments (cf. clinical trials), should both be undertaken, working closely with practitioners in “distributed research networks”.
