Introduction of the Concepts of Plate Tectonics into Secondary-School Earth Science Textbooks.
Glenn, William Harold
Journal of Geoscience Education, v40 n2 p135-39 Mar 1992
Secondary school earth-science textbooks in print from 1960 through 1979 were examined to determine how rapidly concepts of plate tectonics were incorporated into those texts during the period when scientists' views about these concepts were evolving most rapidly. Suggests that delays were probably due to an unwillingness to engage in speculation and the uneven rate at which textbooks were revised. (Author/PVD)
