Social Studies Graded Course of Study.
Stark County Dept. of Education, Louisville, OH.
Basic social studies concepts and corresponding generalizations serve as the overall framework holding together the changing content of the curriculum in this guide. The K-6 organization of skills and concepts reflects an integrated social studies curriculum representing all the social sciences. The K-6 scope and sequence integrates five major content strands which include: (1) history/cultures (U.S. and world), (2) geography, (3) social (anthropology, sociology, psychology), (4) government/civics, and (5) economics. Concepts from each of these content strands are introduced at appropriate levels, and learning outcome statements are provided for teaching the concepts from each content strand. The secondary curriculum (7-12) includes the following courses: (1) Ohio history, government, and geography; (2) U.S. history; (3) world history/cultures; (4) political science; (5) social psychology; (6) sociology; (7) economics; and (8) geography. Learning outcome statements are coordinated with basic concepts and skills for each course along with goals and content outline. The guide concludes with a discussion of evaluation and a 19-item bibliography. The curriculum development model used to develop the courses is appended. (SM)
