Towards an Assessment of Educational Theory: An Historical Perspective.
Bowen, James
International Review of Education, v25 n2-3 p303-23 1979
The author describes historical stages in educational theory: conservative tradition (1879-1904); progressivism (1904-1929); and conservative reaction (1929-1954). For the period since 1954, he considers the conflict between positivism and radical dissent, and the new ecological consciousness of education as part of wider social and political processes. (SJL)
