The Image of Science, Technological Consciousness, and the Hidden Curriculum.

Gordon, David

Curriculum Inquiry, v14 n4 p367-400 Win 1984

The hidden curriculum of schools gives students an image of science in which scientific truths are seen as a collection of facts, scientists as clever people, scientific explanations as true because they "make sense," and reality as consisting of observation. (Author/DCS)
