Title

Instructional Methods For Teaching Social Studies: A Survey Of What Middle School Students Like And Dislike About Social Studies Instruction

Abstract

There has been substantial research conducted in the field of social studies education relating to effective instructional pedagogy. However, many research studies fail to take into account one very important variable: How do the students enjoy learning social studies? This paper is a survey research study designed to see what a group of middle school students liked and disliked about social studies instruction. The purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of what instructional methods the students enjoy in the social studies classroom. By analyzing the students' perspective of effective instruction, teachers can begin to design lessons incorporating methods that have been proven to maximize student interest in the social studies classroom.
