What Have We Done to Social Studies?

Benjamin, James M.

Social Education, 39, 2, 88-90, Feb 75

Problems in textbook content and teaching methods that need to be dealt with include excessive emphasis on conflict as a societal change agent, the supremacy of individual rights, "humanizing" historical figures, the inadequacies of American society, and gimmickry in social studies methodology.
