The behavioral objectives, aims, and premises of this curriculum are similar to SO 002 500. This framework provides a sequential course outline for grades 7, 8, and 9, attempting to motivate students to investigate value issues with the aid of concepts and processes presented in an inter-disciplinary manner. The outline is based on the theme "Man, Culture, and Technology" in pre-industrial, Afro-Asian and Western Societies. Value issues relating to the theme are presented and methods of developing concepts are provided. A flexible course outline allows curriculum decision-making at the classroom, school, and district levels and suggests that approximately one-third of the time remain un-structured for current interest topics chosen by students and teachers. Special features include suggestions for the use of teaching aids and lists of additional reference books. (Author/SJM)
