Abstract | Principles, objectives, methods, and materials for this elementary and secondary social science program are described in the booklet. Principles of this program are that social studies: is a body of knowledge to which all students should be exposed; should be taught with an interdisciplinary, conceptual, inquiry, problem-solving approach; ought to be presented in a planned, sequential, and cumulative manner; should be concerned with the teaching of values that can be applied to judgment-making. The purpose is to prepare students to make intelligent decisions as adults in the community, country, and world. A brief overview of topical content is given for the two semesters at each grade level K-12. The program in kindergarten focuses upon developing the child's understanding of himself in relation to his immediate environment. Grades 1 and 2 move outward to study the nation, and analyze communities. Grade 3 attempts an in depth study of American history. Grade 4 emphasizes economic and geographic concepts and includes the first of the topic-linked area studies which appear in each of the following grades up to the 12th. (Author/SJM) |
