ELED 126A - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Teaching Social Studies: Elementary Education Grades 1-6
Fall, Spring
Interdisciplinary relationships between the social sciences and other disciplines
are examined from their different conceptual frameworks and methods of inquiry,
as well as the study of self in relation to social groups and careers. Related
issues of health, nutrition, and safety are studied. Multicultural and global
education, controversies and critical issues, sociodrama, cooperative group processes
and other social models of teaching are considered. Developing appropriate experiences
for children with disabilities in inclusion settings are studied. Students develop
a repertoire of curriculum projects as well as the ability to facilitate children’s
social development and the building of a class community. Students participate
in the reflective study of their teaching under close clinical supervision in
grades 1-3.
