Prescriptionism as a Motivating Mehcanism: An Ethnographic Study in the Public Schools Journal Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • One advantage of ethnographic research is the consideration of the underlying mechanisms that structure the behaviors of individuals within certain cultural groups or situations. By approaching public school speech-language pathologists as a cultural group, this article uses ethnographic methods to determine some of the underlying motivations for the role of clinicians in the public schools. A powerful motivating mechanism, prescriptionism, is identified and discussed as it relates to the public school clinician's role.
