The Social Studies Curriculum Revolution.
Oswald, James M.
Social Studies, v84 n1 p14-19 Jan-Feb 1993
Traces the origins, growth, and decline of the "New Social Studies" movement between 1960 and 1975. Identifies the movement's curriculum projects, individual leaders, and materials. Discusses reasons for its decline and suggests that the 1990s may bring a revival of another period of social studies reform and innovation. (CFR)
