Identifying Representative Textbooks in U. S. History.
Woodward, Arthur
Theory and Research in Social Education, v10 n4 p39-47 Win 1982
The selection of textbooks used in content analysis to determine values taught to students is important. Only widely used texts must be analyzed. The samples of U.S. history texts used by Fitzgerald (1979) and Barth and Shermis (1980) in their studies were not representative of textbooks used in schools. (RM)
