The Radical Perspective on Social Studies: A Synthesis and Critique.
Newmann, Fred M.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v13 n1 p1-8 Spr 1985
Implications of the radical perspective for social studies are examined. This perspective suggests that (1) emancipation should be the guiding social ideal; (2) social life should be understood in terms of such concepts as domination, autonomy, contradiction, and the social construction of knowledge; and (3) teaching should emphasize the development of critical discourse.
