The instructional techniques illustrated in this book present a method of infusing national security issues into the five principal social studies courses of U.S. history, world history, U.S. government, economics, and geography. Chapter 1 discusses the meaning and evolution of the term national security in its general and educational contexts. The origins and current state of national security as a field of study is outlined in chapter 2. Key themes and concepts providing a conceptual framework for curriculum development are also provided in chapter 2. Instructional strategies and 15 sample classroom lessons that illustrate each strategy are described in chapters 3 through 10. Each lesson is a complete instructional activity, containing instructional objectives and suggested procedures as well as material that can be readily duplicated for students. Suggested procedures to use to integrate the lesson with the classroom textbook are provided for each lesson. The instructional strategies employed include concept learning, decision making, case study, analysis of primary sources, role-playing, mapping exercises, interpretation of data in tables, charts and graphs, and issue analysis. The book concludes with a 35-item annotated bibliography on national security issues. (SM)
