Review # 1 was written on 2017-05-06 00:00:00 Mark Flavin I've read Eisner before and this just wasn't as compelling as some of his other works. Yes, it is accessible and has a passionate tone for a nonfiction text; however, it's so dated, and seeing that the 2017 publication simply has a different forward and other small edits is surprising. For instance, Eisner writes about the state of education in the 90s. Yes, standardization is still a significant aspect of education, but it is different than it was then in many ways (I've taught public school for seven years recently). He provides examples of observing teachers based on lectures versus engaging activities, which is in no way novel in 2018, and doesn't give many more suggestions such as arts-based education. I'm assuming this text came out before arts-based research, specifically a/r/tography, were as mainstream or formulated, but it feels like he's continuously alluding to them without naming them. I've read much better texts in grad school when it comes to advice on how to set up qual interviews, so those parts were not useful. I did, however, like some of his narrative experience, like issues he has had when conducting studies (which seem like some wouldn't be an issue with cell phones and email being used regularly in 2018).
