Uniformity, Diversity, and the "New Social Studies."
Rossi, John A.
Social Studies, v83 n1 p41-45 Jan-Feb 1992
Uses interpretations of educational historians to explain the uniformity that resulted from the New Social Studies (NSS) movement. Describes the origins of the NSS in two streams: the academic disciplines and citizenship education. Suggests that the uniformity and diversity of the profession is based on a central tendency that emphasizes fragmented knowledge and socialization. (DK)
