Social Studies' Place in Elementary Education
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the importance of including social studies in elementary education. One of the goals of social studies education has been to lead students to the point that they can be both critical and reflective thinkers, but that focus traditionally has been only marginally at the junior high school level and has been reserved primarily for high school and college. Studies ranging in age from very new to 30 years old have all found that this population consistently has been disappointing in the level of critical thinking that they have been able to achieve when social studies education begins in earnest in junior high school. One obvious possible solution is to begin social studies in earnest in elementary school rather than keep it as only a passing subject that is only briefly addressed. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
