Four Futures for Social Studies.
Morrissett, Irving
Social Education, v48 n7 p511-12,514-16 Nov-Dec 1984
Four possible futures for social studies education are presented: (1) the inertia of the past will prevail; (2) education will move, slowly but surely, toward agreed-upon ideal states; (3) the new social studies is not dead but only sleeping; and (4) a revolution requires a strong catalyst; computers may be it.
