Eisner's Educational Connoisseurship Model

What is the primary goal of Educational Connoisseurship?

• • To measure student performance using standardized tests

• To deeply understand and appreciate the nuances of classroom interactions

• To develop new classroom management techniques

How does Elliot Eisner suggest curriculum success should be evaluated in the Connoisseurship model?

• Through standardized testing and quantitative data

• By observing student participation rates

• • It heavily relies on quantitative data
