A volume in Research Methods in Educational TechnologySeries Editor
Walter F. Heinecke, University of VirginiaDespite technology's
presence in virtually every public school, its documented
familiarity and use byyouth outside of school, and the wealth of
resources it provides for teaching social studies, there has
beenrelatively little empirical research on its effectiveness for
the teaching and learning of social studies. In aneffort to begin
to fill this gap in research literature, this book focuses on
research on technology in socialstudies education. The objectives
of this volume are threefold: to describe research frameworks,
provideexamples of empirical research, and chart a course for
future research endeavors. Accordingly, the volumeis divided into
three overarching sections: research constructs and contexts,
research reports, and researchreviews.The need for research is
particularly acute within the field of social studies and
technology. As the primarypurpose of social studies is to prepare
the young people of today to be the citizens of tomorrow, it
isnecessary to examine how technology tools impact, improve, and
otherwise affect teaching and learning insocial studies. Given
these circumstances, we have prepared this collection of research
conceptualizations, reports, and reviews to achieve three goals.1.
Put forward reports on how research is being conducted in the
field2. Present findings from well-designed research studies that
provide evidence of how specific applications of technology are
affectingteaching and learning in social studies.3. Showcase
reviews of research in social studiesIt is with this framework that
we edited this volume, Research on Technology and Social Studies
Education, as an effort to address emerging concernsrelated to
theorizing about the field and reporting research in social studies
and technology. The book is divided into four sections. The first
section ofthe book includes three descriptions of research
constructs and contexts in social studies and technology. The
second section is focused on researchreports from studies of
student learning in social studies with technology. The third
section containsresearch reports on teachers' pedagogical
considerations for using technology in social studies. In thefourth
and final section, we present work that broadly reviews and
critiques research in focused areas ofsocial studies and
technology. This volume contains twelve chapters, each of which
focuses on socialstudies content and pedagogy and how the field is
affected and enhanced with technology. The volumeincludes research
and theoretical works on various topics, including digital history,
digital video, geography, technology use in the K-12 social studies
classroom, and artificial intelligence.

The terrorist attacks in the USA and UK on 9/11 and 7/7, and
subsequent media coverage, have resulted in a heightened awareness
of extremists and terrorists. Should educators be exploring
terrorism and extremism within their classrooms? If so, what should
they be teaching, and how? Dianne Gereluk draws together the
diverging opinions surrounding these debates, exploring and
critiquing the justifications used for why these issues should be
addressed in schools. She goes on to consider the ways in which
educators should teach these topics, providing practical
suggestions. Education, Extremism and Terrorism is essential
reading for undergraduate and postgraduate education students
looking to engage with the philosophical, sociological and
political issues that are central to this debate.
Ever since man first took to the air, combat aircraft have been at
the cutting edge of aviation technology, resulting in some of the
greatest and most complex designs ever built. Military Aircraft
features 52 of the most important military aircraft of the last
hundred years. The book includes all the main types, from biplane
fighters and carrier aircraft to tactical bombers, transport
aircraft, multirole fighters, strategic strike aircraft and stealth
bombers. Featured aircraft include: the Fokker Dr.1 triplane, the
legendary fighter flown by German flying ace Manfred von
Richthofen, 'the Red Baron', during World War I; the Mitsubishi A6M
Zero, Japan's highly-manoeuvrable fighter that dominated air-to-air
combat in the early part of the Pacific War; the tank-busting Il-2
Shturmovik, the most produced aircraft in World War II; the Harrier
jump jet, a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter that has
been service for more than 40 years; the B-2 Spirit bomber, an
American precision strike aircraft used in recent conflicts in
Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan; and the F-22 Raptor, an air
superiority fighter with state-of-the-art stealth technology that
makes it almost invisible to radars. Each entry includes a brief
description of the model's development and history, a profile view,
key features and specifications. Packed with more than 200 artworks
and photographs, Military Aircraft is a colourful guide for the
military aviation enthusiast.
For citizenship education in the 21st century, globalization
increasingly presents a new challenge and a new opportunity. Since
the time when nationalism played a critical role in unifying new
nations, nationality and citizenship have been virtually synonymous
terms. As a result, the constructed symbiosis of citizenship and
national identity has influenced state supported citizenship
education in the most profound way. School curricula, particularly
in public schools, produced and reinforced the dominant version of
citizenship, which is national citizenship. Schools were expected
to prepare future loyal citizens who would identify themselves with
the nation. Due to the changing nature and scope of human
interactions, the traditional model of citizenship education,
however, appears increasingly outdated and deficient to address
many contemporary challenges. Thus, schools have become a locus of
a potential conflict of two citizenship discourses: the discourse
of national citizenship that for a long time has served as the
ultimate purpose of public education and the discourse of global
citizenship that is forcefully and continuously seeking for a
proper place in school curricula despite the lack of curricular
heritage. The need for an education for citizenship that has a
global scope and is guided by critical and emancipatory approaches
becomes more evident. At the same time, the pressure to globalize
and internationalize curriculum actively challenges such concepts
as patriotism, national identity, loyalty to the state, or national
uniqueness of government and democratic development that have been
fundamental for citizenship and civic education for decades. In
this book, a group of international scholars present their research
about the dynamic development, interplay, and interconnectedness of
two major discourses in citizenship education, namely national and
global. Case studies and ethnographies from China, Cyprus, Egypt,
Hong Kong and Singapore, Lebanon, Liberia, the Netherlands, Russia,
and the United States display a multifaceted but yet comprehensive
picture of educators' attempts to promote social justice, global
awareness, and multiple loyalties. The volume will appeal to
several constituencies: it will be interesting to teachers and
teacher educators whose focus of instruction is citizenship
education, social studies education, and global education; it will
also be interesting to scholars who conduct research in citizenship
and global education.
