Science Curriculum and Social Control: A Comparison of Some Recent Science Curriculum Proposals in the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany.

Millar, R. H.

Comparative Education, v17 n1 p23-46 Mar 1981

Comparing the secondary physics courses developed by West Germany's Institute for Science Education (IPN) with similar British curriculum projects, the author argues that the differences in style, content, and reception of these curriculums are related to the social locations of the British teachers and the German academics who devised them.
