Now in its 5th edition, this popular text offers practical,
interesting, exciting ways to teach social studies and a multitude
of instructional and professional resources for teachers. Theory,
curriculum, methods, and assessment are woven into a comprehensive
model for setting objectives; planning lessons, units, and courses;
choosing classroom strategies; and constructing tests for some of
the field's most popular and enduring programs. The reflective and
integrative framework emphasizes building imagination, insight, and
critical thinking into everyday classrooms; encourages
problem-solving attitudes and behavior; and provokes analysis,
reflection, and debate. Throughout the text, all aspects of
curriculum and instruction are viewed from a tripartite perspective
that divides social studies instruction into didactic (factual),
reflective (analytical), and affective (judgmental) components.
These three components are seen as supporting one another, building
the groundwork for taking stands on issues, past and present. At
the center is the author's belief that the heart and soul of social
studies instruction, perhaps all teaching, lies in stimulating the
production of ideas; looking at knowledge from others' viewpoints;
and formulating for oneself a set of goals, values, and beliefs
that can be explained and justified in open discussion. This new
edition is heavily revised and condensed to promote ease of use.
"Build Your Own Lesson" additions to each chapter encourage
improvisation and inquiry-based teaching and learning across
subjects. A Companion Website offers additional activities,
lessons, and resources for pre-service and practicing social
studies teachers.
