Occupy Wall Street as a Curriculum of Space
Tập 38 - Trang 79-89 - 2014
Although Occupy Wall Street may no longer appear in news headlines, the
international movement provides a rich curriculum on space and protest that are
worthy of contemplation in social studies classrooms and research. This paper
looks historically at how location and free speech became linked and informed
one another during the 20th century in the US. It then looks critically at three
sites of Oc...

Predictors of Students’ Achievement on Naep-Economics: A Multilevel Model
Tập 43 - Trang 327-341 - 2019

school and out of school economics education exposure on student learning. Using
data from the 2006 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)-Economics
12th grade assessment, we conducted an analysis using multilevel modeling to

Beyond the “Babel Problem”: Defining Simulations for the Social Studies
Tập 39 - Trang 63-77 - 2015
Simulation research has become a growing area of interest in the social studies
in recent years. Problematically, the term simulation is used without
consistency among practitioners and researchers. The conceptual confusion
regarding what simulations are (or are not) muddies the field and makes it
difficult for scholars to make sense of this phenomenon or to talk about
simulations across findings....

effects of a preservice teacher preparation program rooted in problem-based

utilizing children's literature portraying LGBTQ families in the elementary
classroom. Participants reported a range of personal experiences with LGBTQ
individuals and f...
Integrating Social Studies and Social Skills for Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities: A Mixed Methods Study
Tập 41 - Trang 253-262 - 2017
Research indicates that academic growth and student behavior are inextricably
linked. Schools that systematically address both academic and social/emotional
learning (SEL) have shown increased student achievement when compared to schools
that do not address both factors ( Elliott, Huai & Roach, 2007 ; Hawken, Vincent
& Schumann, 2008 ). Even with this understanding, outcomes for students with
emot...

Using data from the Survey of the Status of Social Studies ( S4), this article
describes the instructional decisions and practices of elementary teachers in
two neighboring states, one where social studies is tested and another where it
is not. We define students’ opportunity to learn within these states as a
composite of three variables: time allocations for social studies (teacher
reported instr...
