Principles-Based Standards: On the, "Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics."
Hansen, W. Lee
Journal of Economic Education, v29 n2 p150-56 Spr 1998
Comments on the new National Council on Economic Education standards and calls for more clarification and detail as well as additional standards. Argues that the almost-exclusive focus on principles-based standards ignores that need for explicit skill standards. Discusses possible difficulties for social studies teachers not trained in economics. (MJP)
