When and Where did I Find it: I discovered this word while reading Teaching Reading in Social Studies by Doty, Cameron, and Barton (2003) for this course. This word was used in the context of cooperative learning.
What it means: Doty, Cameron, and Barton (2003) uses the word terminology in the following statement; “face-to-face promotive interaction” (p. 16). According to dictionary.com, promotive is defined as “tending to promote.”
Level of familiarity: I have never heard this word before, but figured it had something to do with the word promote.
Do I want to know this word well and why: I do not see an imperative need to continue to explore this word. It is a nice addition to my vocabulary, but do not think it is essential to have a deeper understanding of this word.
Do I think others should know this word well...if so, who and why: I do not think it is necessary for students or teachers to understand the meaning of this word. It is not essential to in the context of instruction. It could potentially be used by teachers when discussing progress monitoring and intervention techniques employed in the classroom.
