Stages in the Use of Knowledge.
Egan, Kieran
Clearing House, v54 n1 p13-17 Sep 1980
With specific attention to appropriate teaching strategies, the author defines a developmental stage theory of children's interest in and psychological uses for knowledge. The four stages are: mythic (up to approximately age 9/10); romantic (ages 9/10 to 15/16); philosophic (ages 14/15 to 20/21); and ironic (adult). (SJL)
