Abstract

Abstract The Social Studies materials of Harold O. Rugg were developed and refined over a seventeen year period from 1921–1938 by Rugg and his team of teachers and graduate students at Teachers College, Columbia. The materials were unique in being (1) the first nationally developed and published social studies materials, (2) the first specific junior high social studies materials, (3) the first curriculum materials to compile date from a diverse team of experts—teachers, social scientists, educators, curriculum specialists, psychologists. The materials reflected Rugg's concern for training students to be decision makers in a changing society, and still compare favorably with many social studies series.
