The World Portrayed in Texts: An Analysis of the Content of Elementary School Textbooks.
Van Brummelen, Harro
Journal of Educational Thought/Revue de la Pensee Educative, v25 n3 p202-21 Dec 1991
Analyzes society and social ideals portrayed in 94 elementary-level textbooks in British Columbia. Identifies prominent themes under four headings: technology and consumerism; the personal world of children; what it means to be Canadian; and morality and religion. Concludes that authors encourage conformity rather than transformation of society. (PAA)
