Treatment of the Gulf War by Secondary Social Studies Teachers.
Nelson, Lynn; And Others
Social Studies, v85 n2 p76-82 Mar-Apr 1994
Reports on a study of 124 secondary social studies teachers about the treatment of the 1991 Gulf War in their classrooms. Finds that, with few exceptions, knowledge about the war was provided by television news and other media and that students were not asked to conduct in-depth research or other critical thinking activities.
