Models of Wisdom in the Teaching of History.
Wineburg, Samuel S.; Wilson, Suzanne M.
History Teacher, v24 n4 p395-412 Aug 1991
Discusses teaching styles exhibited by two different history teachers. Describes both teaching styles as epistemological representations, although one consists of a passive approach while the other employs active teacher involvement. Stresses each teacher's use of primary sources to help students see both sides of issues and critically analyze textbook authors' interpretations of events. (DK)
