Past as Prologue: The Legacy of Sputnik.
Dow, Peter B.
Social Studies, v83 n4 p164-71 Jul-Aug 1992
Describes the development of a fifth-grade social studies program, Man: A Course of Study, or MACOS. Discusses how the program strengths and shortcomings, those of the educational reform movement of the 1960s, influence today's educational reform. Suggests that the role of scholars, the participation of teachers, and the use of media are valuable legacies. (DK)
