"Back to Basics": Rethinking What Is Basic to Education through an Interpretive Study of the Work of Teachers and Students in Elementary Classrooms.
Jardine, David W.; Clifford, Patricia; Friesen, Sharon; LaGrange, Annette
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v47 n2 p187-90 Sum 2001
An ongoing study has found that the "basics" in contemporary educational theory are actually the smallest, most easily isolated and most easily testable fragments of knowledge in a discipline--abstractions produced by complex analysis. The project is exploring an alternative version of "basicness" in which the complex, often ambiguous realm of a living discipline gives meaning to such fragments. (SV)
