| Abstract | Despite periodic efforts, traditional social studies teaching methods continue to be used in grades K-6. Research suggests that elementary students do not like or value social studies when these traditional methods are used to organize and teach its content. The goals of the social studies curriculum in grades K-6 are to transmit citizenship skills to children and to develop the skill areas of information processing, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, spatial awareness, social interaction, and time concepts. Through the use of picture and story books, teachers can utilize characters, plots, settings, themes, and relationships to introduce activities that assist in developing these skills. Fictional books contain information about people and relationships, emerging values, the effect of institutions on personal behavior, and lessons about people from various time periods and diverse cultural backgrounds. Children's fiction is also a source of useful information about historical events, current issues, global themes, and lifestyles. The most efficient form of delivery for this teaching method is for the teacher to read the books to the class and to plan which skills will be taught. (JHP) |
