This correspondence between Richard Ford and Robert Chambers concerns issues surrounding the production of PRA 'manuals'. Chambers is of the opinion that manuals have a number of disadvantages (e.g. inhibition, diminished responsibility, classroom bias, neglect of attitudes and behaviour, rigidity and so on). These comments were written in response to an invitation to comment on revisions to a PRA handbook. The suggested revisions (attached) illustrate some of the reasons for reservations about manuals in themselves.
Interest groups:
This correspondence may interest trainers and those preparing PRA 'manuals'.
