Reflections on a Discipline of the Social Studies.
Longstreet, Wilma S.
International Journal of Social Education, v6 n2 p25-32 Fall 1991
Discusses the content of social studies as a discipline. Suggests that the real curriculum of the social studies in actual teaching is history. Argues that the original emphasis on citizenship training needs to be restored or developed as a separate discipline to establish a source of knowledge independent of the social studies. (DK)
