Founding documents-namely, the 1916 Report on Social Studies-is the
focus of John Dewey and the Dawn of Social Studies: Unraveling
Conflicting Interpretations of the 1916 Report which examines the
Report in order to determine how it has been interpreted and
regarded over time. The underlying question involved is: "Which
interpretation, or interpretations, most embodies the intent,
goals, and purpose of the 1916 Committee?" Key members of the 1916
committee have been identified for extended research and analysis.
One additional individual frequently quoted throughout the Report,
John Dewey, received special consideration owing to his stature and
influence in the U.S. and throughout the world. The wide variety of
interpretations was examined within an organizational framework
utilized to discuss and analyze the broad spectrum of
interpretations that exist. This examination encompassed the
existing viewpoints, the meaning and intent of the 1916 committee,
as well as the social and political aspects of the era. The
overarching intent of founding documents, in this case the 1916
Report, is to make sense of the various scholarly interpretations
and offer insights as to whether or not a consensus of opinion
among scholars exists. Like all important founding documents whose
authors have long since passed through the veil of history, but
whose work continues to influence, we, as scholars, social studies
and history educators, and curriculum and instruction researchers,
want to know whose ideas are at the forefront of social studies-one
of the most contested academic fields of study in America.
