When and Where found: I found this word while reading the Brock (2007) article. Brock was discussing the methods of her data research while allowing the case study student to view the lesson and comment on how he felt.
What it means: In the context it was being used, preclude means to come to an answer before actually evaluating the information. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary online it means to "rule out in advance," which supports what Brock was meaning in her article.
Level of Familiarity: I actually had never seen this word in print before reading it. I did understand it readily based on my prefix and suffix knowledge.
To know well or not: This word has value, especially in dealing with reading and writing studies. It may or may not come in handy while writing our teacher action research papers in the future.
