Shaping the Issues (IV): Implementing Alternatives in Learning
Gross, Dorothy W.
Childhood Education, 54, 4, 166-8, Feb 78
Advocates a change in educational emphasis in which humanism is seen not as an alternative but as a given. Suggests switching focus from measuring end-results to providing options which emphasize process and which reflect two themes, namely active learning from concrete experience and the symbolization of that experience through sensory means.
