Teacher Authority in the Social Studies Classroom: Erosion of a Barren Ground.
Common, Dianne L.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v12 n4 p25-38 Win 1985
Social studies teachers, either because of their preparation or their inappropriate in-service professional development, do not have much sensible understanding of the epistemological state of social studies knowledge. Because of this students will not grant their teachers de facto authority, and social studies is considered irrelevant and is very unpopular. (Author/RM)
