Social Studies Place in Elementary Education : 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
