Neutrality and Commitment in Teaching Moral and Social Issues in a Multicultural Society.
Singh, B. R.
Educational Review, v41 n3 p227-42 1989
Neutrality is of questionable relevance in teaching social issues related to racial or sex discrimination. Because these essentially moral issues are relevant to everyone, a teacher should be committed to fundamental values of justice, fairness, and respect for others. Teaching methods include development of cognitive and affective qualities and logical and moral reasoning. (SK)
