Individualism, Collectivism, and Radical Educational Reform
Cagan, Elizabeth
Harvard Educational Review, 48, 2, 227-66, May 78
Suggesting that American ideas of individualism may be responsible for the failure of radical school reform, the author advocates fostering a collectivist character in children based on altruism, cooperation, and concern for others. She reviews literature on education in socialist nations and on experimental research and suggests activities for educational reform. (MF)
