Chapter 1: The Subject You Will Teach models a constructivist approach, asking students to first reflect on the
qualities of a good social studies teacher, using a fourth grade learning adventure. Next, students consider the
question, What Do You Remember about Social Studies? and identify the best and the worst social studies
elementary experiences. Through these two reflective tasks, students review classroom examples and consider the
context and policies as well as the dilemmas and opportunities facing them as social studies teachers.
Chapter Overview
Attribute 1: Social Studies as a School Subject
A social science is any of several disciplines that examine how people interact and develop as societies.
Six major social sciences
These contribute to the backbone of elementary social studies programs: geography, history, civics
(political science), anthropology, sociology, and economics.
The Goals of Elementary School Social Studies
The overriding purpose of social studies is to ready students for the most important duty they will have as
adults, what Thomas Jefferson called the “office of citizen” with civic competence as a central aim. The
NCSS Task Force on Early Childhood/Elementary Social Studies (1989) suggests that the traditional
skills of reading, writing, and computing are necessary but insufficient to help young citizens to
participate in a complex world. Social studies specialized goals help children accomplish what other
subjects cannot help them achieve. The task force recommended essential goals be divided into three broad
areas:
Knowledge-The knowledge base should include rich, accurate information across the social
sciences
Skills-Map and globe skills are primary to social studies. Other skills including communication
skills are also shared with other parts of the curriculum.
Values and Beliefs-The early years are ideal for children to understand core civic
principles, particularly in terms of smaller social entities such as the family, classroom,
and community along with positive attitudes toward learning and a spirit of inquiry.
