Social Studies Learning in Elementary School Reveals Effective Teaching Strategies

It is very important for children to learn social studies in elementary school. This is evidenced by the fact that there are still students who do not fully understand all the material taught in social studies class. In the era of Revolution 4.0, educators are expected to help students think criticallytowards social problems and respond creatively to matters related to social life. Educators can encourage students to discuss and work together to overcome social problems. Social studies lessons at the elementary school level must be delivered to students in a constructivist manner. There are five methods that can be taught in social studies classes, including collaboration-based learning, design-based learning, inquiry-based learning, pembelajaran berbasis proyek, dan pembelajaran berbasis masalah.

Supporting Knowledge and Language Acquisition of Secondary Emergent Bilinguals through Social Studies Instruction

AbstractThis study examined the initial efficacy of World Generation (WorldGen), a Tier I social studies instructional approach for emergent bilingual (EB) students and their native English‐speaking (non‐EB) peers in Grades 6 and 7. WorldGen builds on prior research on instructional practices that have been associated with improved content knowledge and literacy outcomes for EBs in classes of students with varying English proficiency. Using a within‐teacher design, middle grades world history teachers' classes were randomly assigned to WorldGen treatment (17) or comparison conditions (16) for three to four approximately two‐week units. The student sample included 42% EBs. Students in the treatment condition (n = 373) scored higher, on average, on world history content (Hedges' g = 0.47) and vocabulary knowledge (Hedges' g = 0.41) than students in the comparison condition (n = 343) but no statistically significant findings were yielded regarding disciplinary literacy skills at the end of WorldGen instruction. Of primary interest, the statistically significant main effects indicated that world history content knowledge and vocabulary learning was similar for both current EB and non‐EB students in the treatment condition. The findings provide initial support for the use of the WorldGen instructional practices for improving content acquisition and vocabulary in general education social studies classes with students with a range of English proficiency. Furthermore, teachers perceived the WorldGen instructional practices and materials as providing the information and learning experiences necessary to support students in meeting grade‐level expectations.

Does Private School Choice Threaten Democracy? Evidence from Private and Public Schools in New York City and Dallas/Fort Worth

A major concern in the ongoing debate over school choice is whether private schools help to increase their students’ levels of tolerance necessary for a functioning democracy in the United States. Over 40 years ago, scholars at the University of Minnesota created a survey which measured political knowledge, political tolerance, perceived threats from opposing groups, and support for democratic norms anchored in each respondent’s view of the political group they find most distasteful. In 1997, researchers at various universities used a similar survey instrument to derive responses from students in eighth-grade social studies classes who were enrolled in seven public and twenty-four private schools in New York City and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. Those original data remained archived and unexamined for decades. We analyze those data using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and rigorous Nearest Neighbor Matching (NNM) methods based on propensity scores. We find that students who attended private schools demonstrate higher levels of political knowledge and stronger support for democratic norms when compared to observationally similar students who attended public schools.

The Content Analysis of the Lesson Plans Created by ChatGPT and Google Gemini

Following the emergence of chatbots, especially ChatGPT, researchers have begun to examine their capabilities, credibility, and reliability in educational context. In this study, ChatGPT and Google Bard are used as technological tools to create 7th-grade lesson plans for mathematics, science, literature, and social studies classes. Using prompts, these chatbots were asked to create lesson plans for the desired course, subject, and level. The data source of this study is the content produced by these chatbots. We analyzed 18 lesson plans to identify patterns and variations within the context of learning theories and models by using the Taguette qualitative analysis program. The results show that the lesson plans created by both chatbots are strongly resemblance to human-written educational content such as sentence structures, lesson activities, and assessments. Although the activities in all lesson plans defined teachers as facilitators and offered partially constructive lesson plans, it was found that the technology-integrated activities were very limited. The findings of this study provide a practical implication of chatbots for teachers and highlights educational considerations when integrating these tools into lessons.

‘Somos bilingües’: translanguaging socialization of DLBE teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT After the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the disruption of in-person schooling has significantly affected many students including emergent bilingual students. Designed as an ethnographic study, this research study examines two Spanish-English dual language bilingual education teachers’ implementation of translanguaging pedagogies and language socialization during the pandemic through the following research questions: (1) What adjustments did the teachers make to their teaching and curriculum to support the students as they navigated the pandemic times? (2) How did the teachers and students use languages in their interaction in blended learning environments? Findings from the 2nd grade Spanish Language Arts and 4th grade Social Studies classes demonstrate that both teachers reported an increased awareness of the importance to integrate translanguaging pedagogies and reflected a translanguaging stance. They also intentionally integrated translanguaging strategies into their teaching through translanguaging design. The 2nd grade teacher invited the students to draw upon their full linguistic repertoires for Spanish literacy development, whereas the 4th grade teacher adopted translanguaging design to make content materials more accessible. Through translanguaging socialization, both teachers socialized the students into and through flexible language use and created a learning environment where students’ linguistic repertoires were valued as a resource for learning.

A Low-Career Elementary Teacher’s Paradigmatic Shift Experience in Lesson Discussion through Cognitive Coaching

This study explored the process of cognitive coaching in relation to social studies lessons for a low-career elementary teacher. The purpose was to scrutinize the procedures and principles followed by the coach and the teacher and to identify changes in the teacher’s instructional and curricular expertise. During the coaching, the coach utilized mediational tools such as paralanguage, response behaviors, and mediative questioning to facilitate the teacher's self-directed learning process. Consequently, the teacher experienced autonomy in lesson discussions. Reflecting on lesson planning, she recognized the necessity of reading children's books and the need to restructure units. She established goals to enhance her teaching expertise, expressed a willingness to explore self-reflection methods, and hoped to improve her use of mediational tools.
 Over a span of 7 months, data were collected from the coach and the teacher. The data collection included pre-coaching open-ended survey responses, transcripts of coaching dialogue over two cycles, and open-ended survey responses from a mid-term evaluation. Additionally, instructional plans for the teacher's 6th-grade social studies class were gathered. These data were analyzed using the constant comparative method, and a validation process was conducted for the results. As recommendations, a paradigm shift focusing on teachers' thinking in lesson discussions, establishing a culture where observers mediate teachers' internal thoughts in a non-judgmental manner, reevaluation of mandatory classroom observations, providing coaching related to individual teachers' lessons within the learning community, concurrent emphasis on personal reflective thinking and sharing and discussing experiences and knowledge within the learning community, fostering collaboration between teacher training institutions and educational authorities for developing and expanding cognitive coaching training programs, and coupling training for the enhancement of instructional expertise and curricular expertise were suggested. Further studies were proposed.

사회적 공감능력 함양을 위한 초등 사회과 수업의 구안 및 적용

Modern society is living in an era of "unsympathetic" that has become insensitive to other people's senses. Therefore, this study proposes empathy-based social studies classes to cultivate students' social empathy skills based on the need for social empathy and to change students' cognitive, behavioral, and affective aspects. In particular, the approach to social empathy beyond personal empathy can lead to a three-dimensional and multifaceted approach to unequal social structures and vulnerable groups in marginalized societies beyond the level of understanding and consideration for others. This study ultimately aims to cultivate the proper social empathy ability to comprehensively understand the characteristics of society and develop the qualities of a democratic empathy citizen who creatively and reasonably solve modern society's problems. Accordingly, the elementary social studies curriculum was analyzed, and social studies classes were organized and implemented for fifth-grade students based on a social empathy-based model. After applying social studies classes, quantitative analysis was conducted through a paired sample t-test to measure the cultivation of students' social empathy skills.

초등 사회과에서 향후 ‘교실 교과서’의 가능성 탐색 - 해럴드 러그의 사회 교과서에 담긴 시사점을 토대로 -

This study was conducted for the purpose of exploring the possibility of 'classroom textbooks' by teachers to overcome the limitations of existing nationwide social studies textbooks in elementary social studies education. To this end, we theoretically reviewed the characteristics of classroom textbooks and examined the characteristics of Harold Rugg's elementary social studies textbooks. Based on this, we identified the limitations of existing nationwide textbooks and devised the principle of developing 'classroom textbooks' by teachers suitable for elementary social studies education based on the implications obtained through analysis of Harold Rugg's social studies textbooks. The principles are as follows. First, the selection of alternative educational content considering the curriculum standards, second, integrated topic-oriented approach, third, the composition of reading materials by storytelling and step-by-step questions aimed at student inquiry, and fourth, textbook production and post-supplementation considering the characteristics of classroom students. Based on this principle, the researcher developed a 'classroom textbook' by teachers for some of the contents of the fourth grade of elementary school and used it for class, and confirmed the response of students and fellow teachers to the 'classroom textbook.' The possibility of 'classroom textbooks' by teachers in elementary social studies is as follows. First, 'classroom textbooks' by teachers provide the possibility of realizing social studies classes suitable for classroom students. Second, 'classroom textbooks' by teachers provide the possibility as a useful tool to realize alternative elementary social studies education led by teachers and students.

Part of whose world? The Little Mermaid, fantasy media, and casting backlashes as racial projects for social studies classrooms

PurposeConversations around diversity, race and science fiction and fantasy films/television have sparked in response to recent casting decisions made in the upcoming live-action The Little Mermaid, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Star Wars' Obi-Wan Kenobi (Deggans, 2022; Romano, 2022). Backlash against casting of actors of Color in these genres highlights racial projects where a cultural memory of whiteness comes up against multicultural change. The authors of this paper feel that there is great potential in using current-day racial issues around fantasy films/television to explore these racial projects with students in social studies classes (Omi and Winant, 2014).Design/methodology/approachUsing a qualitative textual analysis (Peräkylä, 2005), the authors examined online news media outlets addressing the casting of actors of Color in the aforementioned media pieces. After reviewing over twenty articles, the authors determined two major themes that would serve as the findings.FindingsIn this paper, themes of nostalgia for an imagined ‘way things were’ and future-based fears of how things will become emerged from the analysis, revealing a need for engaging students in the history of sci-fi and fantasy media, and the existing, diverse histories of storytelling featuring multiple races.Originality/valueThe authors argue that examining racial projects found in contemporary sci-fi and fantasy casting are chances for students to understand complex racial histories and how they blend into current-day cultural landscapes, and are opportunities to practice analysis of real-life racial histories and richly-imagined fantasy worlds, noticing how and why the two often collide when it comes to race.
