Secondary Education by the Book.
Sosniak, Lauren A.; Perlman, Carole L.
Journal of Curriculum Studies, v22 n5 p427-42 Sep-Oct 1990
Maintains that U.S. education should not be studied as a single entity. Interviews 44 students to understand how their learning experiences vary across the subjects of mathematics, science, English, and history. Finds that, although instruction revolves around the textbook, it is used differently in each subject. Discusses these patterns of use, focusing on history instruction. (CH)
