Does Direct Instruction Cause Delinquency?
Bereiter, Carl
Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v1 n3 p289-92 Sep 1986
Takes issue with the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation report (Schweinhart, Weikart and Larner, 1986) indicating that preschoolers taught by direct instruction end up with twice the rate of delinquency of children who participated in High/Scope's own kind of preschool education. Argues that self-report methodology invalidates High/Scope data. (Author/NH)
