Is Social Studies Dying? Reflections on Educational Reform.

Evans, Ronald W.

International Journal of Social Education, v7 n1 p89-99 Spr 1992

Discusses the nature of social studies. Suggests that the National Council for the Social Studies seems dysfunctional because it aspires to be apolitical in a field that is inherently political. Concludes that social education will continue to reflect the structure of society and the values of people who control the educational process. (DK)
