Critical Pedagogy for Social Studies Teachers.
Ahlquist, Roberta
Social Studies Review, v29 n3 p53-57 Spr 1990
Distinguishes weak forms of critical thinking (restricted to logical thinking) from strong forms of critical pedagogy (incorporating a moral component into critical thinking). Sees evidence of weak forms in the 1987 California History-Social Science Framework. Contends that social studies must be interdisciplinary, global in perspective, contextual, controversial, and help students employ critical thinking to solve real problems. (CH)
