"Open Education" Revisited: Promise and Problems in American Educational Reform (1967-1976).
Smith, Lydia A. H.
Teachers College Record, v99 n2 p371-415 Win 1997
Examines the rise and fall of the open education movement of the 1960s and 1970s, considering the lessons that current school reformers might take from it. The paper notes that contemporary educational research indicates children can and should be taught in the ways they learn best, and it is time to reconsider the benefits of open education. (SM)
