Despite the founding of the modern social studies curriculum nearly
a century ago based on John Dewey's pragmatism philosophy, the
field has never achieved a significant and broad implementation of
his ideas. Dewey's instrumentalism offers social studies educators
a tool for addressing vexing problems such as whether they should
design classroom experiences using a traditional or a social
studies approach to learning history, the role of digital
technologies, the purpose and challenges of younger learners
working with an expanding horizons curriculum, and many more. At
the same time, Dewey's time-tested theories describe how students
use the social studies curriculum to make meaning as well as
provide teachers a blueprint for implementing engaging and
interactive lessons. We have neglected Dewey, which has led to
confusion, student disinterest, and widespread teaching
methodologies contrary to theoretical and research best practices.
Revisiting Dewey provides the why and how of what we do, an ideal
for creating a challenging and rigorous social studies curriculum
while engaging students' interests.
