The New Politics of Textbook Adoption.

Berstein, Harriet T.

Phi Delta Kappan, v66 n7 p463-66 Mar 1985

The controversies over textbook content common in the 1960s and 1970s have been resolved for the most part, but now a new debate over textbook quality is surfacing. The forces for change are led by instructional designers, advocates of educational rigor, and those urging preparation for tomorrow's technological world. (PGD)
