What is social studies education? What capacities does the social studies curriculum build in young people? What does the study of social studies provide? What is Social Studies education? Social Studies comprises the study of relationships among people, and between people and the environment. Social Studies recognizes the challenges and benefits of living in a diverse cultural and ideological society. The resulting interactions are contextualized in space and time and have social, political, economic, and geographical dimensions. Based on appropriate investigations and reflections within Social Studies, students develop distinctive skills and a critical awareness of the human condition and emerging spatial patterns and the processes and events that shape them. What capacities does the Social Studies curriculum build in young people? The Social Studies curriculum builds the following capacities in young people: disciplinary knowledge; inquiry, interpersonal, and critical thinking skills; respect for the underlying values of a diverse democratic society; interest in public affairs and competencies of self-government. First, the Social Studies curriculum builds disciplinary knowledge. Disciplinary knowledge is fundamental for students to construct meaning through understanding powerful ideas drawn primarily from the disciplines of history, geography, civics, and economics. Second, the Social Studies curriculum cultivates inquiry, interpersonal, and critical thinking skills. These skills are infused throughout the four Social Studies disciplines so that students apply the methods of social science to effectively participate in public life. Aided by appropriate technologies, students gather, interpret, and analyze information to be informed citizens. Their ability to engage in civic discourse improves through practice of discussion and interpersonal skills. Critical thinking skills encourage reasoned decisions as well as alternative viewpoints regarding matters of public concern. Third, the Social Studies curriculum promotes respect for the underlying values of a diverse democratic society. As a result, students comprehend the ideals of democracy and strive to live their lives in accordance with them. Through activities such as service learning and political action, the Social Studies curriculum equips students to improve their communities and to realize the civic virtue of serving. What does the study of Social Studies provide? * The Social Studies provides a remarkable opportunity to engage students in the enduring dilemmas embedded in the study of community, family, and society. * The Social Studies provides a unique forum for acquiring historical perspective, practicing respectful processes of engagement, and developing a passion for contributing to the common good of the immediate and larger community. What social skills deficits are of most concern to you? Determine the type of social skills deficit. Do you feel that you are missing something when it comes to social skills? Do you have trouble making and keeping friends, feel uncomfortable around new acquaintances, or have difficulty getting along with colleagues? Strategies for Promoting Skill Acquisition: To teach skills that have not been acquired, three specific steps are necessary: (1) modeling, (2) coaching, and (3) behavioral rehearsal. Lessons for teaching social skills should be planned just as academic instruction is planned. Build fluency with repeated rehearsals of the social skill.
