The Fallacy of Excluded Instruction: A Common But Correctable Error in Process Oriented Teaching Strategies.

McKenzie, Gary R.

Theory and Research in Social Education, v7 n2 p35-48 Sum 1979

Suggests that indirect process oriented teaching methods are not too successful with elementary school social studies students because there is a tendency for teachers to provide too little information to enable a rational child to discover the ideas he or she is supposed to learn. Modifications in the form and application of the teaching strategy are suggested. (Author/DB)
