No Easy Answers: Joseph Schwab's Contributions to Curriculum.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Eisner, Elliot – Curriculum Inquiry, 1984

This essay analyzes the effects of Schwab's theory and calls for a new language for education, to be formulated through practical contact with the processes of schooling. (MJL)
