Signature Pedagogy: A Literature Review of Social Studies and Technology Research
Beck, Dennis; Eno, Jenni
Computers in the Schools, v29 n1-2 p70-94 2012
A literature review of 121 peer-reviewed articles, books, and conference proceedings was conducted to determine the signature pedagogies of social studies education and technology integration. The authors found that the signature social studies pedagogy is based on two primary instructional models: direct-instruction and inquiry-based, student-centered learning. Technology can be used to support both models, although its potential lies more in enabling inquiry-based, student-centered learning. Future trends and study ideas are offered in helping practitioners and researchers to advance technology integration into the signature social studies pedagogy. (Contains 2 figures.)
