Questioning the Cultural Function of Science Education: An Endorsement and Response to Rudolph.
Garrison, Jim
Science Education, v87 n1 p80-89 Jan 2003
Endorses John L. Rudolph's argument that the time spent on "the nature of science as a thing-in-itself" is less than the time spent "seeking greater consensus about what social function we wish our image of science to serve". Focuses on Dewey's and Schwab's ideas to discuss the function and practice of science education. (Contains 14 references.) (Author/YDS)
