O knihe

Educating About Social Issues in the 20th and 21st Centuries: A Critical Annotated Bibliography , is comprised
of critical essays accompanied by annotated bibliographies on a host of programs, models, strategies and
concerns vis-à-vis teaching and learning about social issues facing society. The primary goal of the book is to
provide undergraduate and graduate students in the field of education, professors of education, and teachers
with a valuable resource as they engage in research and practice in relation to teaching about social issues.
In the introductory essays, authors present an overview of their respective topics (e.g., The Hunt/Metcalf
Model, Science/Technology/Science, Genocide Education). In doing so, they address, among other concerns,
the following: key theories, goals, objectives, and the research base. Many also provide a set of recommendations for adapting and/or strengthening a
particular model, program or the study of a specific social issue.
In the annotated bibliographies accompanying the essays, authors include those works that are considered classics and foundational. They also include
research- and practice-oriented articles. Due to space constraints, the annotated bibliographies generally offer a mere sampling of what is available on
each approach, program, model, or concern.
The book is composed of twenty two chapters and addresses an eclectic array of topics, including but not limited to the following: the history of teaching
and learning about social issues; George S. Counts and social issues; propaganda analysis; Harold Rugg's textbook program; Hunt and Metcalf's
Reflective Thinking and Social Understanding Model; Donald Oliver, James Shaver and Fred Newmann's Public Issues Model; Massialas and Cox'
Inquiry Model; the Engle/Ochoa Decisionmaking Model; human rights education; Holocaust education; education for sustainability; economic education;
global education; multicultural education; James Beane's middle level education integrated curriculum
model; Science Technology Society (STS); addressing social issues in the English classroom;
genocide education; interdisciplinary approaches to incorporating social issues into the curriculum; critical
pedagogy; academic freedom; and teacher education.
