This social studies curriculum guide is designed for grades K-12. Divided into seven sections, the first section offers a brief introduction and calls attention to the laws and rulings in Indiana which affect the teaching of social studies. Section two outlines the guide's rationale which stresses that knowledge must be combined with rational action in resolving social issues. The elementary section identifies and defines major concepts, indicates where they appear in selected textbooks, lists skills which should be developed, provides a description of the child at each grade level, and offers suggestions for evaluation. Topics include global awareness, decision making, basic needs, citizenship, self-esteem, and technology. Activities involve students in question-answer exercises, map and globe work, role playing, and field trips to local industries. The fourth section consists of flow and concept charts which describe the scope of the social science disciplines; a separate chart is provided for each discipline. The secondary section consists of units used as examples for teaching American history and government, anthropology, economics, geography, seventh grade global studies, world civilizations, psychology, and sociology. Each unit contains introductions, objectives, strategies, activities, and resources. The evaluation section includes the following cognitive values, and social participation domains; test items; and classroom observation techniques. A resource bibliography is included. (Author/JK)
