Matters of Method.
Thornton, Stephen J.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v25 n2 p216-19 Spr 1997
Argues that, without changes in methods of teaching social studies, curriculum reform can only provide an illusion of educational change. Observes that little has been published in 25 years of "Theory and Research in Social Education" on methods. Discusses three historical meanings that "method" has had since the 1880s. (DSK)
