How much this differs from the concept of the Redbook committee is made clear by the following sentences from the Bruner report...

Knowledge about the "enterprise," however, is precisely what the Redbcook...
...Redbook Committee had wanted to give students some idea of the processes by which scientific discoveries were made by showing how these things had been done in the past.
