The Social Frontier: A Critical Reader
ISBN: 9781433109195 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Social Frontier is the most interesting and important educational journal to emerge from the Great Depression. First published in 1934 by a group of scholars at Teachers College, Columbia University that included George Counts and William Heard Kilpatrick, the magazine represented a conscious act of social and political reconstruction. With a strong -collectivist- orientation, the magazine was widely misperceived as communist in its approach. In fact, its editorial position called for a greater social role for teachers and a more just and equitable system of schooling.
