Seelye, H. Ned, Ed.
A product of a 1968 Title III National Defense Education Act Pilot Workshop on Teaching Latin American Cultural Themes, this booklet is designed to (1) further the cause of Latin American understanding in Spanish, social studies, and elementary school classes, (2) to be used in future workshops, and (3) serve as a model for similar handbooks involving other cultures. Part 1 is composed o f seven methodologically oriented articles in which developments in this area of study are anticipated. Topics treated are--(1) new instructional aims for social studies, (2) pertinency in Latin American studies, (3) the culture capsule and political simulation techniques, (4) guidelines for a well-articulated sociocultural understanding addition to existing language programs, (5) culture test item validation and measurement techniques, and (6) the rationale for measurement of acculturational abilities in individuals. Part 2 consists of a 200-item annotated bibliography on Latin America developed by 16 scholars representing seven academic disciplines. (AF)
