A Discipline of the Social Studies: Forward to the Basics.
Wronski, Stanley P.
International Journal of Social Education, v6 n2 p57-68 Fall 1991
Attempts to define a discipline of social studies by identifying a philosophy of social studies. Suggests that such a philosophical structure should attempt to develop a systematic, coherent, definable body of thought organized on the basis of structure and process. Uses epistemology, ontology, and axiology as a framework. (DK)
