Revisiting the Eight-Year Study and Rethinking the Focus of Educational Policy Analysis.
Kahne, Joseph
Educational Policy, v9 n1 p4-23 Mar 1995
The Eight-Year Study was a landmark attempt to design, implement, and evaluate democratic secondary schools. Reexamining this 1930s initiative allows us to consider how democratic priorities can transform educational practice, evaluation, and policy analysis. The norms, values, and technologies that currently guide mainstream analysis are poorly suited to record and report the strengths of the democratic orientation inspired by Dewey's work. (MLH)
