Educational Connoisseurship 
If you were a connoisseur of wine, preparing to compose a criticism (which is not only a negative assessment remember; Dewey said “the end of criticism is the reeducation of the perception of the work” (as quoted in Eisner, 1977, p. 347), you would first have to begin with a description. This description of the wine – all of its qualities – would send you on a hunt for books, and experts, that could help you understand what you had described, why it is the way that it is.
As a connoisseur, and eventual critic, of education, you have to begin with a description. In chapter 4 Eisner describes five dimensions of schooling: intentional, structural, curricular, pedagogical, and evaluative. Choose three of these dimensions and aim for about 2 pages (double-spaced) for each (six pages, total plus title and reference page), in which you both 1) write a description of an artifact and 2) make connections to Eisner’s definitions of the dimensions (using direct, APA-formatted quotes from the text). Each dimension should have its own artifact. 

Using the assigned readings, presentations, and videos as a guide, address the following issue:  Some people decline to participate in a study because they are too busy, do not like the topic, or are just uninterested.  Some people are overly interested and have an agenda to push.  This opportunity to choose can create self-selection bias, and it leads to a biased or non-random sample. If a researcher must use convenience sampling for their study, describe how this form of sampling is conducive to self-selection bias and the steps researchers should take (supported by scholarly sources) to reduce this bias.
