The Educational Theory of Mary Sheldon Barnes: Inquiry Learning as Indoctrination in History Education.
McAninch, Stuart A.
Educational Theory, v40 n1 p45-52 Win 1990
Barnes, an educator and textbook author, was a pioneer in the use of inquiry to teach secondary school history. Her work is criticized for the indoctrination it entailed and for its failure to encourage students to identify and examine the spiritual and political premises underlying the historical framework Barnes presented.
