The Past and Future of Social Studies as Citizenship Education and of Research on Social Studies.

Shaver, James P.

Theory and Research in Social Education, v25 n2 p210-15 Spr 1997

Discusses 25 years of attempts to define social studies and to research social studies education. Argues that a definition that denies teachers' diverse experiences and instructional methods is dysfunctional and that research has advanced little. Calls for a reexamination of the research enterprise itself and of graduate training in education. (DSK)
