Bruner's Theory of Instruction--Fact or Fantasy.

Smith, Allen

College Student Journal, v13 n4 p382-86 Win 1979

Examined the validity of Bruner's theory that any subject can be made appropriate for any child at any stage of development. This was not valid with the topic of the Civil War. However, with the topic of the Great Depression, the opposite results were found, and Bruner's theory partially confirmed. (Author/BEF)
