DAVID B. WILKINS
(David Wilkins)
This quotation illustrates one side of a major issue in modern education. Wilkins emphasizes the importance of the specific content taught while others argue that there is great dissention in the nation on exactly what should be taught and national agreement is impossible and we cannot predict the future to determine what content will necessarily be needed. However, they argue that it is the critical thinking skill and technique and that is most important irrespective of content.
