Abstract

ABSTRACT Social studies education and research can and must play a central role in sustaining democratic societies. As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of this vital journal that aims to strengthen social studies education, democratic societies face numerous serious challenges. Although today’s circumstances are unique, many of our current challenges have existed (and will continue to exist) in some form throughout the history of democracy. In this article, scholars from various sub-fields of social studies education explore how research, scholarship, and practice in the field can address seven of these persistent civic challenges: ecological sustainability, media literacy, equity and inclusion, civic engagement, political pluralism, civic competency, and sociohistorical change. Essays on each of these topics analyze relevant prior research and offer suggestions for how future research and scholarship can explore how educators can help to address these persistent civic challenges, with the goal of supporting robust participatory democracy.

可持续民主社会的社会研究教育研究:应对持续的公民挑战

社会研究教育和研究能够而且必须在维持民主社会中发挥核心作用。在我们纪念这本旨在加强社会研究教育的重要杂志创刊50周年之际，民主社会面临着许多严峻的挑战。虽然今天的情况是独特的，但我们当前的许多挑战在整个民主历史中以某种形式存在(并将继续存在)。在本文中，来自社会研究教育各个子领域的学者探讨了该领域的研究、学术和实践如何解决七个持续存在的公民挑战:生态可持续性、媒体素养、公平和包容、公民参与、政治多元化、公民能力和社会历史变革。关于这些主题的文章分析了相关的先前研究，并为未来的研究和奖学金如何探索教育工作者如何帮助解决这些持续存在的公民挑战提供了建议，目标是支持强大的参与式民主。
