Abstract	The social studies curriculum recently has been subjected to many changes. New curriculum patterns coupled with more effective instructional strategies have altered significantly subject content and teaching methods. Drawing from contemporary research literature, newly developed curriculum guides, and blue-ribbon reports from content specialists and social studies teachers, this booklet reviews 10 contemporary trends in social studies and suggests how instruction can change to meet the needs of a changing country. The 10 trends reviewed concern the following topics: history, geography, literature, multicultural society, western ideals, ethics and values, role of religion, controversial issues, in-depth coverage, and writing.
