EDU 396 - Social Science Thinking in Context


Prerequisites: EDU 200  and EDU 202 
This course focuses primarily on the current state of social studies education in the United States. Is the teaching of the social sciences and history primarily a collective memory exercise intended to pass on a particular version of the past? Is social studies education a interdisciplinary exercise intended to prepare students to think critically about the past and present? Students examine how the answers to these questions inform the nature of social science thinking, knowledge, and the teaching of the discipline. Field experiences include observing the teaching and learning of social science and history in grades 7-12 as well as co-teaching a direct instruction lesson with a cooperating teacher.
