Framing a Theory for Social Studies Foundations.

Saxe, David Warren

Review of Educational Research, v62 n3 p259-77 Fall 1992

Practitioners and theorists do not articulate the purposes, theory, and practices of social studies adequately because they lack a basic understanding of the historical background. Examples of myths that hinder research and the development of social studies as a field are given as the field's history is traced. (SLD)
