Is the Social Studies Curriculum Impervious to Change?

Haas, John D.

Social Studies, v77 n2 p61-65 Mar-Apr 1986

Briefly recounts social studies curriculum change efforts from 1955 through the late 1970s. Addresses three key questions: why has the traditional social studies curriculum endured despite serious reform challenges, what aspects of social studies are least/most amenable to change, and which change strategies offer most/least promise of being effective.
