new social studies  

Definition(s)

  • The New Social Studies refers to the movement that attempted to revise, update, and improve social studies instruction by creating innovative, inquiry-based curricula, and curriculum materials for K–12 social studies classrooms founded upon the structures and modes of exploration of each of the academic disciplines that comprise the social studies. Between 1962 and the early 1970s, the U.S. Office of Education (USOE), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Ford Foundation funded more than 50 projects that sought to reform how social studies was taught.
