"Back to the Basics" for the Educational Decision-Maker: Some Philosophical Considerations.
Ott, Walter H.
Canadian Journal of Education, v5 n4 p57-69 1980
Discusses the 'back-to-basics' issue, contending that conceptions of educational basics lie within three time frames (ego-time, clock-time, timelessness) and noting that educational decision-makers often defeat their own 'back-to-basics' attempts because they operate almost solely on clock-time due to their specialized training.
