In Defense of Hanna and the "Expanding Communities" Approach to Social Studies
Baskerville, Roger A.; Sesow, F. William
Theory and Research in Social Education, 4, 1, 20-32, Aug 76
In the late 1930s and 1940s Paul R. Hanna advocated, for the elementary and junior high school student, a multidisciplinary, wholistic, and coordinated study of people in communities. This paper presents a defense of this approach to social studies, and shows how it can be adapted to include new teaching techniques. (Author/RM)
