Yet, a number of indigenous and people of color never consented to citizenship and many still do not wish to have it. This article explores the role of citizenship as a tool to not only appropriate, assimilate, and colonize indigenous peoples and their lands, but to also decouple citizenship and political participation. We ultimately suggest the deployment of a Structured Academic Controversy about indigenous patriotism so that students can consider negative, positive, neutral, and multifaceted perspectives on the normally assumed uncontroversial topic of U.S. citizenship and assimilative culture from the perspective of indigenous peoples.","PeriodicalId":83074,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of social education : official journal of the Indiana Council for the Social Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":"46 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82390522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through this 4-year longitudinal quantitative study, researchers evaluated youth participants’ abilities, competencies, and experiences related to three civic constructs: community engagement, political engagement, and political activism. Results from the study show effective increases in students’ participation within each of the three respective constructs and provide promising alternatives to the conventional teaching and learning of civics education.","PeriodicalId":83074,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of social education : official journal of the Indiana Council for the Social Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"146 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76867544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Skills and attitudes necessary for active citizenship should be fostered in prekindergarten “in a way which is appealing and pleasurable (Casey, DiCarlo, & Sheldon, 2019, p. 1)”. The National Council for the Social Studies College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework is written for kindergarten through 12th grade, but could it a guide for successful inquiries with children in prekindergarten? If so, could the framework also provide a helpful tool for early childhood educators unsure of how to create inquiry experiences? This study’s purpose was to examine the experiences and outcomes of eleven prekindergarten students and their teacher as they explored landmarks over a five-week inquiry using the C3 Framework. Qualitative analyses of data sources suggest the C3 Framework guided inquiry on landmarks led to the formation of foundational geographical schemas in the children and supportive inquiry pedagogy schemas for the teacher.","PeriodicalId":83074,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of social education : official journal of the Indiana Council for the Social Studies","volume":"85 1","pages":"161 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75360921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relevant background topics follow this structure: (a) introduction including literature review and purpose, (b) brief history of fake news, (c) impacts of misleading information on society, and (d) how to moderate fake news. The final student inquiry adheres to the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies. Students investigate these questions: What is fake news? Why should I care? How can fake news affect people and institutions? Why does fake news affect our lives and societies? Interactive, current resources are included to activate students’ abilities to discern multiple fake news concepts and categories. Extra resources accentuate students’ debate skills regarding free speech rights versus media ambiguity. Recommendations for students’ public informed action solutions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":83074,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of social education : official journal of the Indiana Council for the Social Studies","volume":"49 1","pages":"136 - 145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78925758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Close readings of secondary and primary sources evoked rich class discussion. Scaffolding directed students’ scrutiny of secondary sources for historical gaps; they ably detected source and intent within the primary sources. Students articulated newly constructed understandings through diverse forms of text-based writing. Students’ verbal contributions were far more robust than written communications. They demonstrated criticality and historical thinking quite substantively during classroom discussions, small-group dialogue, or one-on-one interactions, such as when asked to clarify their written statements. Students also engaged in an age-appropriate adaptation of informed action. Limitations included lack of time available for extended inquiries and students’ inexperience, which are expected considering the age group.

Educators must be careful that when they attempt to select material from a range of seemingly diverse perspectives, they do not choose content that nevertheless maintains problematic depictions of people, places, and events. Time travel stories offer a unique opportunity for students to consider, discuss, and research both “the past” and popular media’s construction of the past, as well as confront their assumptions about what they believe is “true to history” and why. This article presents a case study and content analysis of the time travel TV show Doctor Who, and its narrative construction of the past around race and gender in particular. Implications are discussed for how the show might teach students about historical perspective and popular media’s influence on perceptions of history in subtle and overt ways.","PeriodicalId":83074,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of social education : official journal of the Indiana Council for the Social Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":"76 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91054381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I briefly describe alternative economic paradigms and contrast them with neoclassical fundamentals. Then, I include economic lesson ideas to showcase ways to teach traditional economic content in ways that attend to neoclassicism but expand the potential of the discipline into new paradigms. By interrogating the fundamentals of neoclassical economics, students and teachers of economics can use these new economic paradigms to foster a counternarrative that is more critical and humanizing and can help address the prevailing themes of an era marked by systemic oppression.","PeriodicalId":83074,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of social education : official journal of the Indiana Council for the Social Studies","volume":"88 1","pages":"296 - 311"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87702658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
