Abandoning the Scientistic Legacy of Science Education.
Duschl, Richard A.
Science Education, v72 n1 p51-62 Jan 1988
Examines the philosophical basis for the development of authoritarian views in science education curricula. Argues that the deliberation of science curricula should address humanistic and societal issues as well as fact. Suggests that such deliberation requires a broader spectrum of individuals who involve themselves in the development of scientific knowledge. (CW)
