The Curriculum Frontier.
Tanner, Daniel
Social Education, v54 n4 p195-97 Apr-May 1990
Praises recent efforts to integrate study of science and technology with the broader society, including the science/technology/society movement and Project 2061. Warns of the dangers of splitting the social sciences and natural sciences, and of the limitations represented by the recent focus on "cultural literacy." Advocates the teachings of John Dewey who argued for curriculum synthesis in general education. (DB)
