Petrini, Glenda C.; Fleming, Dan B.

Theory and Research in Social Education, v28 n3 p233-47 Sum 1990

Presents a study addressing the confusion over social studies skills. Documents the historical background leading to this confusion by reviewing the professional and research literature from the early 1900s to the 1980s. Stresses the problem of imprecise terminology, pointing out that the citizenship, inquiry, study, and thinking skills movements have interwinded. (CH)
