AED 203 CheckPoint- Approaches to Teaching Social
Studies
In Curriculum and Instructional Methods for the
Elementary and Middle School, 6th ed. (2006), J.
K. Lemlech argues that how students learn
science is just as important as what they learn.
In the teaching of science, a major objective is
to develop students problem-solving
capabilities. To do this, teachers must structure
learning experiences to provide students with
opportunities to participate in inquiry
processes
Approaches to Teaching Social StudiesMany
historical and current events are controversial,
including multicultural, gender, and moral
issues. Although teachers do not have to shy away
from teaching controversial subject matter in the
social studies classroom, they should approach
the teaching of these subjects differently than
they do noncontroversial subjects.

classroom, they normally use lesson plans with
fewer details although lesson planning continues
