What Have 17-Year-Olds Known in the Past?
Whittington, Dale
American Educational Research Journal, v28 n4 p759-80 Win 1991
Calls for education improvement are often predicated on a decline in U.S. education. Past U.S. high school students' knowledge is examined through U.S. history test data from 1915 to 1925 and national achievement test data for 1932 to 1965. Evidence does not support a decline in student knowledge. (SLD)
