CHAPTER I

IN'rRODUCT ION

The purpose of this study is to compile instructional

resources that are available in Asheville, N.C. and also

those that are available to any community. It is felt that

this will be a valuable aid and will facilitate in the making

and the assembly of materials for the social studies program.

The areas of study are those listed in the Social Studies

bulletin of North Carolina Public Schools. They are as fol-

lows: Grade One, 11 Living Together In School and Home";

Grade Two, 11 Living Together in Our Cornrnunity 11; Grade Three,

11 Community Living Now and Long Ago."

A study of this type is of necessity one that is subject

to revision, because of the changing nature of materials and

resources. New resources may become available and others

eliminated because they may not have value to the social

studies program.

Definition of Terms

The term instructional resources is defined for this

study as those materials which aid in the teaching of social

studies.

Michaelis1 has this definition for social studies:

l. Michaelis, John u., Social Studies for Ch ildren in a Democracy, En glewood Cliffs, N.J., Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1956~ p. 2.

Bost on Uni versitJI' School of Educat i on

LibrarY.

"The social studies are concerned witp people and their interaction with their social and physical environment; they deal with human relationship. In the social studies, attention is given to ways of working together, use of the environment to meet basic human needs, customs, institutions, values, and life situations.--The cultural heritage and its dynamic on-going characteristics. 11

Criteria For the Selection of Materials

Selection of instructional material should be done with

l utmost care. Potter has this group of questions as a help

in selecting materials.

11Do the materials fit the maturity level of the pupils?

Do the materials or experiences meet the personalsocial needs of these boys and girls?

Do the materials meet the needs which have arisen out of experiences or activities of the pupils?

Are the materials varied enough to provide for individual differences?

Are the materials comprehensive enou~~ to pro~ide needed information?

Are adequate materials at hand to provide suitable appreciation experiences:?

Are the materials authentic, accurate, and without bias in presentation?

Are materials readily obtained and within the finances available?

Do materials provide rich experiences which in turn will lead to other experiences and interests?

l. Potter, Gladys, "Selecting and Using Instructional IVlaterials II' The Principal and Curriculum Building, rrwentieth Yearbook, California Elementary School Principal's Association, 1948, pp. 100-101.

2

Is the presentation of the information or material consistent with the best standards or practices in the particular medium?

Do the materials give children the opportunity to satisfy basic drives: to be curious, to manipulate, to construct, to dramatize, to be physically active?"

Procedure

Four types of instructional materials have been included:

(1) Community Resources, (2) Audio-Visual Aids, (3) Free and

Inexpensive Materials, and (4) Supp lementary Books.

Under community resources, three of the means of study-

1 ing resources mentioned by Olsen were used~ (1) Field Trips,

(2) Resource Visitors, and (3) Documentary Materials.

As the means of finding possible field trips in Asheville,

North Carolina, a list of the industries and businesses in and

near Ashevil l e was secured from the Asheville Chamber of Com-

merce. In addition other names were secured from the tele-

phone directory. A questionnaire accompanied by a letter was

sent out to the places where field trips for primary grades

seemed appropriate.

February 28, 1957

As a part of the work on my thesis at Boston University,

Boston, Massachusetts, I am endeavoring to find out the places

that are available for field trips in and near Asheville,

North Carolina. I feel that your business would make an in-

teresting study if permitted to do so.

Enclosed you will find a questionnaire and a se l f-

addressed, stamped envelope which I am asking you to fill out

and return.

Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

Yours truly,

Mrs. D. L. Williams

Resource visitors were secured t:b..rough an effort to se

cure people in the areas studied by the primary grades.

Documentary material was also procured from the Asheville

Chamber of Commerce, Asheville Citizen-Times, and the Public

Library. With the exception of the pictures this material

could not be used in the first and second grades.

For Audio-Visual aids a list was compiled of films a nd

film strips appropriate for each primary grade using as a

basis the film library catalogue of the Asheville City Sch ools

and of the Buncombe County -Schools, Educationa l Film Guide and

Filmstrip Guide.

Using as a guide to free and inexpensive materials the

following catalogues were consulted and the materials ordered,

evaluated and listed according to areas studied in each grade:

Free and Inexpensive Learning Mat erials and Selected United

States Government Publications.

The books listed by grades in the catalogue published by

the North Carolina school book depository was the reference

used in securing a list of the social studies readers.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

School curriculums have undergone many changes in order

to keep up with scientific and cultural advance. The narrow

curriculum in which only the facts in the book were taught,

has given way to a more inclusive curriculum which gives prac-

tice in living democratically. That the social studies have

lagged behind the other subjects in giving dramatization and

vitality to its program is indicated in the following state-

ment.

11 In the United States there has been steady progress, reality and vitality in the school experience. As early as 1836 an interest developed in agricultural instruction on the collegiate level. Manual training, slayd, cooking, serving and similar handicrafts began to appear in the elementary and secondary school about 1880. Demonstration lessons in the science laboratory work, visual aids and dozens of other movements have risen from time to time to enrich the educational program. But in many schools history and social studies have continued to be "Things to be read from books. 11

"Only in recent years have we realized that many of the ordinary activities are but miniature processes which in the large have great economic and political significance; that attitudes formed in childhood toward the policeman may have a bearing on a law observance in adulthood; and that the habits of good citizens must be acquired largely by practice throughout life rather than tb~ough a semester's expolure in high school to the intricacies of government."

1. 11The Utilization of Community Resources 11 , The Social Studies Curriculum, Fourteenth Yearbook, Washington, D.C., Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association, 1930, pp. 246.

The social studies program in the elementary school is

not only desi gned to develop certain learning skills in the

child but also to develop skills in human relationship.

· b 1· 1 th" tb f s · l d el e t MJ..c _ae J..S says J..S on _e scope o ocJ..a ev opm n

in the elementary school.

11 •••• The social studies in the elementary school embraces materials related to human relationship drawn from history, geography, political science, economics, anthropology, sociology, science and the arts. They include content and activities that may be used to develop into human relationships in a way that children build competence in the basic skills essential in democratic living . The social studies make rich contributions to the growth and development of children because the central function of the social studies is identical with the central purpose of education--the development of democratic citizenship."

2 Preston has this to say on the social studies program:

11 A social studies program which is seriously intended to develop responsible citizens must supply abundant practice in applying the four attributes already described, namely knowledge, insig;ht skills and loyalty. 11

Preston3 continues:

"The need is for practical situations involving varied and demanding social relationships. These cannot be restricted to periods set aside for the social studies. Most of them arise throughout the program of the activities ranging from creative work in art to drill in arithmetic.11

Content in the social studies curriculum of the primary

grades has fallen into a general pattern.

Instructional materials are essential in developing the

social studies program. Various k inds are needed to make the

program vital, broadening and inclusive.

"Any method of teaching which aims to develop thinking on the part of boys and girls cannot be dependent upon a single text as its only material of instruction, nor can it follow a page-by-page plan of assigning lessons. Such a method encourages only a memorization of facts for recitation or test purposes. Where once a single textbook served as the sole source and the use of it the only activity, today many sources and many activities are used in the average classroom procedure. Many sources of information including a variety of textbooks, reference books,

1source materials,

and current periodicals must be used. "

Strat emeyer2 makes the following statement concerning the

need of a wide variety of instructional materials. "The need

of knowing resource materials and selecting and using them

effectively is one of life's recurring situations."

Stratemeyer3 further states the problems to be considered:

"There are at least two distinct and yet related problems to be considered in providing facilities and instructional materials. The first has to do with learning opportunities in the area; the second with equipment and mate~ials needed to facilitate the process of curriculum development. Physical facilities and instructional materials cannot be considered apart from teaching and learning . They are service tools and their use helps to determine the quality of learning."

Community Resources

The use of community as an instructional material resource

has received wide approval among educators. Communities have

a vast store of resource material.

Michaelis1 points out some of the sources of instruction-

al materials in the community.

".S ome of the richest inclstructional resources for the social studies can be found in the local community. For example, field trips can be taken to an airport, dairy, farm, newspaper, or to other places being studied. Resource visitors can be invited to discuss topics, give demonstration material and audio visual materials can be used as various needs arise."

Iviichaelis 2 further states: 11The child's own daily experi-

ences in t he community are also a resource which can be used

to enrich discussions · and to promote sharing of ideas. 11

Moffatt and Howe113 state in connection with community

resources:

"The community is a natural laboratory for extending learning activities. Instruction can be vitalized and extended through the use of field trips and class projects that utilize these concrete materials. Every child lives and learns in his total environment and it should P,e an expanding one."

l. Michaelis, 2.£• Cit., p. 204-.5.

2. Michaelis, Ibid., p. 205.

3. Moffat t, Maurice P. and Howell, Hazel W., Elementary Social Studies Instruction, New York: Longmans, Green and Company, 1952, p . 327.

10

l :Moffatt continues on the subject of community:

"The study of community life should guide the pupils in realizing his privileges and responsibilities as a future citizen of the community, state, nation and world."

Documentary materials present a rich source for studying

the community.

Olsen2 has this definition for documentary material·s.

"'Documentary materials' is a generic term to all writ:lngs or printed sources of informati on but not including maps, photographs or other such visual aids. Among the chief kinds of documentary materials are books, magazines, deeds, abstracts, tax receipts, bank statements, bills of lading and the like."

IVii el3 makes this observation on means of procuring docu-

mentary materials.

"Most elementary teachers know that local manufacturing concerns, the chamber of commerce and various govel"nment agencies have materials for distribution. The local newspapers too contain valuable materials."

Miel4 continues:

11 A sizeable collection of materials about a community can be built up over a period of a few years if individuals and group reports of children's findings with various aspects of community life are into booklets and preserved in the school library."

hand.

Field trips are a means for studying the community first-

"The work of the school and community must be united if we are to educate children for social competence. Excursions help to make the child's transition into adult community living a natural process; they yield specific concepts and understanding and build genuine social consciousness that can be developed no other way. Contact with the 1real 1 world helps children see how economic, social, political and religious elements of the culture are woven together. nl

Resource visitors to the classroom add realistic concepts

to the social studies program.

. 2 Lee and Lee name some of the means of getting resource

people.

11 In every community almost regardless of size, there are people with interesting hobbies, foreign backgrounds or living experiences or occupation usual or unusual which can be shared with childr e n. Such people are generally willing to come into the cla$room to talk, ans wer questions, demonstrate, exhibit or otherwise share their interest and abilities with children."

Lee and Lee3 express this opinion on preparation for re-

source visitors.

"The teacher should talk with the person to be interviewed or brought into the classroom to make clear to him the information desired and the level of maturity of the class. The class likewise should know why the interview or the visit is taking place and should be primed with important questions. 11

Audio-visual materials help to make the social studies

more vital and interesting. l

Caswell states this opinion on

making learning meaningful to the child.

"The social world about the child must be opened up to him in its realities through opportunity by firsthand exp erience and observation to see many aspects of g;roup life in operation, to participate in the activities of a variety of group s, and to enrich this experience through the recorde d experiences of others."

One of the ways of having vicarious experiences is through

au d io-visual aids.

wesley2 has the following definition for visual aids.

" Interpreted broadly, the term audio-visual material include

all materials read and observed or heard.tJ

Wesley3 states the following on the availability of audio-

visual materials:

"Teachers today have a c cess to more and better materials than in any other p revious period. Dat a concern ing visual materials and t h e most effective methods of utilizing them are now available. As a result there has been a new and greater emphasis on the use of films and recordings in the elementary classroom."

13

Free and Inexpensive Materials

Free and inexpensive materials contain important and in-

teresting information. Each social studies teacher would be

wise to avail herself of the opp ortunities offered at little

or no expense.

1 McAulay's criteria for the use of free and inexp ensive

materials are summarized here.

1. I/Iaterials should be screened by the teacher and evaluated in terms of suitability, reading level and comprehension to the unit.

2. The materials should be used in different activities in the room, such as scrapbooks and bulletin board displays.

J. If materials are reusable, they should be carefully filed.

4. Materials should be kept up to date. Out of date materials should be destroyed.

5. Materials should be sent for before they are needed.

6. Allow the children to help decide how the materials may be used.

7. The teacher must decide which materials are most suited for her and which ones are most suited for the children.

B. Th e company's name on materials does not invalidate it.

9· Displaying materials may be motivation for a new unit.

l. McAulay, J. D. 11Using Free and Inexpensive Materials", Social Education, 20:163-164, April 1956.

10. Free and inexpensive materials are not mere text supplements, they often furnish interesting sidelines to the unit studied .

If used wi s ely, free and ine xpensive materials can do much

t o enrich t h e social studies program.

Sup plementary Readers

Su pplementary readers op en av enues for independent read

ing i n the s ocial studies . Lee and Lee 1 have this to say on

the availability of supplementary readers.

"Even the traditional h istory and geography requ ire supplementary books. The ne e d of such materials has been greatly increased with the advent of the activity and unit of work ··program . 11

Outstanding have been the supp lementary books is sued for

the social studies. Publishers are attempting to supp ly t h e

· elementary schools with the type of book that will meet the

needs of t h e unit of work program.

Michaelis2 states these views on supplementary reading.

nThe reading selection should be related to the ques t ions that

come up in the unit of work ."

Michaelis3 further states: "Children shou ilid be encouraged

to identify themselves · with characters in the story to visual-

ize what is going on.n

l. Lee and Lee, Op . Cit., p . 289 .

2 . Michaelis, Op. Cit., p. 322-323.

3. Michaelis, Ibid, P. 323.

15

1 Preston here is concerned with the supplementary readers

for retarded children.

"The retarded reader offers a special problem. Material should be sought for him that is slightly below his reading comprehens ion score. A good assortment of easy books should be assembled so that even those children who encounter the greatest frustration in reading will be able to experience daily success. 11

Many school systems have adop ted the practice of prepar-

ing a han dbook device for simplifying comrnunity study.

Fraser2 makes these statements in that regard.

"To develop a systematic file of the sources of social data in school and comrnunity calls for careful initial planning. It re quires the cooperative work of many indi viduals--t .~achers, students and persons in the community. The effective use of such a resource file requires continuing search. for resources, and an acClJ_rate record of which specific resources have been used--when, how, and with what learning results."
