Apple, Michael W.; Teitelbaum, Kenneth – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 1986
There is more and more external control of classroom content and processes. This external control is being vested in legislative and administrative bodies, which are more apt to turn the school over to managerial and industrial needs. Teachers should take organized action to defend their right to control the classroom. (RM)

Attribution instruction can be…
