The Sylvia Scribner Award: 1999 Call for Nominations

Nominations are open for the 1999 Sylvia Scribner Award of
Division C of the American Educational Research Association.
The award recognizes a program of work that has significantly
influenced thinking and research in the field of learning and
instruction. In particular, the annual award is designed to
honor current research (i.e., within the last ten years) that
represents a significant advancement in our understanding of
learning and instruction. The recognized work may include but
is not limited to research articles, paper series,
monographs, book chapters, and/or books. This includes
collaborative teams as well as individuals.

The work of the late Sylvia Scribner, for whom the award is
named, reflects a wide range of research concerns within the
field of learning, cognition, and education. Her research,
which focused on cognition in relation to society and
culture, drew on a range of methodologies, cut across
disciplinary boundaries, addressed multiple sites for
learning and development, and included older and younger
learners. The Sylvia Scribner Award is designed to honor work
that reflects any methodology or conceptual perspective for
research on learning and instruction, including, but not
limited to her approaches, so all research methodologies and
perspectives on
learning and instruction that are represented in Division C
are eligible for the award. The recipient of the award need
not belong to Division C.

Anyone may make a nomination, including a self-nomination.
The nominator should send a letter containing:
(a) the complete bibliographic citation of a single
publication designated by the nominator as illustrative or
representative of the nominee's larger research program, (b)
complete bibliographic citations of up to five additional
relevant publications of the nominee,
(c) a supporting statement of no more than 300 words, and (d)
vita of the nominee.
When possible, the nominator should submit a copy of the
