Google Preview: Social studies is a field in crisis. The crisis stems from a lack of understanding in the very foundation of social studies purpose in public education: civic education. Social studies theorists have not put forth a coherent method to teach civic education due to the public being unable to agree upon a general definition of civic education. This issue has disrupted the field since the early days. As educators sought to include civic education within public schools with a dedicated field, social studies evolved into a blending of history, social sciences, and civic education. Social studies' evolution never resolved the differences between the three. Instead of creating a unified field, the disciplines devalued social studies and thus any discipline associated with it. This book investigates the changing definitions and purposes ascribed to social studies in the United States through time. This result can be viewed through the rising tensions from culture wars as America's divisive politics fights to control the narrative of the disciplines within social studies.; Michael Learn has taught social studies courses for more than 20 years at various levels ranging from 6th grade through the university level. His doctorate is in institutional quality in public education with a special focus on social studies standards and assessment.; Introduction: Social Studies is/are Chapter One: Making History Part of the Curriculum Chapter Two: What is Civic Education Chapter Three: Combining History and Civic Education Chapter Four: A Social Studies Curriculum65 Chapter Five: What Happened to History Education?
