  1. Teaching Elementary Social Studies during Snack Time and other Unstructured Spaces.Annie McMahon Whitlock & Kristy A. Brugar - 2019 - Journal of Social Studies Research 43 (3):229-239.
    It is common practice for social studies in the elementary school day to be integrated into other subject areas, especially language arts. Also common in an elementary school day are unstructured spaces such as snack time or recess. In this paper, we present findings from a larger study on social studies integration within various subject areas to explore how two teachers (first and fifth grade) integrated social studies into unstructured spaces. These teachers integrated social studies concepts and experiences into morning (...)

    This study investigated approaches to the elementary social studies methods syllabus from instructors of courses across the United States.

  • Straight to the Sources: Analyzing Elementary Preservice Teacher Planning for Inquiry.Alexa M. Quinn & Alexandria Hakim - 2023 - Journal of Social Studies Research 47 (3-4):210-229.
    Through a multiphase coding process, the researchers examined the selection, characteristics, and planned use of 111 written, visual, oral, and material sources that preservice teachers incorporated into plans for inquiry-based elementary social studies instruction. Preservice teachers identified Google as their main tool for locating potential sources, selected far more secondary than primary sources, and varied widely in how they prepared sources for elementary students. Planned use of sources focused almost entirely on identifying key details, with limited opportunities designed for students (...)

  • Stuck in a box: Elementary teacher education students’ perspectives of the impact of edTPA on social studies instruction.Katherine Perrotta - 2023 - Journal of Social Studies Research 47 (1):3-14.
    The purpose of this study is to ascertain perspectives from pre-service and in-service elementary teachers on whether edTPA impacted their preparedness to teach social studies. Major findings show that while study participants found some benefits from edTPA for preparing to teach social studies, pre-service and in-service elementary teachers face significant challenges including time constraints, marginalized emphasis on teaching social studies, facilitating conversations about current events and contemporary issues, and accessing relevant professional development that can support their teaching of content-specific topics (...)

  • K-6 Pre-Service Teachers’ Emerging Professional Identities as Social Studies Educators.Janie Hubbard - 2019 - Journal of Social Studies Research 43 (3):269-283.
    It is vital that social studies be an integral part of the elementary (Kindergarten-6) curriculum to prepare all children to participate in increasingly diverse democracies. This study's purpose was to investigate how nine planned and implemented social studies professional development activities, outside traditional classrooms, could impact five volunteer K-6 pre-service teachers’ beliefs about their emergent professional identities as social studies educators. This case study explored research questions primarily through qualitative methods. Research implications contribute to possible solutions for (1) helping pre-service (...)

  • Fear and learning in student teaching: Accountability as gatekeeper in social studies.Todd S. Hawley & Gretchen M. Whitman - 2020 - Journal of Social Studies Research 44 (1):105-115.
    Today's pre-service teachers grew up attending schools where high stakes testing and teacher accountability were the norm. Despite a substantial body of research focused on the influence high-stakes testing on the practices of novice social studies teachers, a gap exists regarding the accountability movement's influence on novice social studies teachers. This study focused explicitly on the influence high-stakes testing and the culture of accountability had on two pre-service social studies teachers during their student teaching experience. Our findings highlight the ways (...)

  • Preparing elementary pre-service teachers for social studies integration in an alternative field placement.Sara B. Demoiny - 2020 - Journal of Social Studies Research 44 (1):51-59.
    As social studies receives less instructional time in elementary classrooms, elementary pre-service teachers (PSTs) observe little social studies instruction in their field placements. Social studies integration is one way to counteract the devaluation of social studies in elementary schools. This multiple case study examines the extent to which nine elementary PSTs were able to integrate social studies into lessons during an alternative field placement, an integratedSTEM camp. The findings show variance across and within participants in their ability to integrate social (...)
