#SOCIALSTUDIES/ SOCIAL SCIENCE TERMS AND CONCEPTS

Read and understand the following terms and concepts in Social Studies/Social Science:

(Image from https://www.socialsciencespace.com)

Serendipity pattern - unanticipated findings that cannot be interpreted meaningfully in terms of prevailing theories and that give rise to new theories.

Concept - the building blocks of scientific theory that describe the phenomena of interest. Abstractions communicated by words or other signs that refer to common properties among phenomena (e.g., the concept "extroversion" represents a broad range of specific behaviors); concepts developed for scientific purposes are sometimes called "constructs."

Law - a proposition that has been repeatedly verified scientifically and is widely accepted.

Hypothesis - an expected but unconfirmed relationship among two or more variables.

Theory - a logically interconnected set of propositions that show how or why a relationship occurs. Scientific inquiry consists of a constant interplay between theory and research.

Debriefing - an essential procedure in studies involving deception that serves methodological and educational purposes. A session at the end of an experiment in which the experimenter discusses with the subject what has taken place, the real purpose of the study, the need for confidentiality, the subject's responses and feelings, and so on.

Cultural relativity - this principle alerts social scientists to consider the impact of social values on the research process. The principle that the cultural standards of a given society must be examined on their own terms and that  researchers should be nonjudgmental regarding the society or group that is being studied.

Correlation coefficient - a measure of association, symbolized as r (Pearson's), that describes the direction and strength of a linear relationship between two variables measured at the interval or ratio level; the square of Pearson 's r represents the proportion of variance in one variable that may be predicted from the other using linear regression: Measures the strength and the direction of the linear relationship between two quantitative variables.

Statistical significance - a statistical procedure used to assess the likelihood that the results of an experiment or other study could have occurred by chance.

Tests of Statistical significance indicate whether an association between variables is likely to have occurred by chance.

Spurious relationship - a statistical association between two variables produced by extraneous variables rather than by a causal link between the original variables. It is created when an antecedent variable is a common cause of two variables that are statistically associated.

Backward Design

1.) Desired results (big idea, enduring understandings, essential questions)

2.) Assessment evidence (how will students demonstrate what they have learned or can do)

3.) Learning activities (what opportunities will the student have to learn)

 

The most important implication of Gardner's intelligences suggests that teachers should consider using a wide variety of teaching methods.

The direct teaching model is most closely related to lecturing.

What are the seven social sciences from which "social studies" is derived?

History

Geography

Civics and Government

Economics

Sociology

Psychology

Anthropology

 

What are the two broad goals of social studies education?

Committed to the public value of society

Willingness and ability to deal justly and effectively with value conflicts

Reasoned loyalty to this nation and its form of government

A feeling of kinship with the "human race"

Responsibility for one's actions

 

What is meant by a compare and contrast approach to social studies content?

To the degree possible students compare their own social situation to others both long ago and far away in an attempt to broaden their perspective, deepen their understanding, and encourage their critical thinking skills.

Absorbing History = studying what others have done and said:

Discussing a meaning of a primary source document

Listening to historical narratives (stories about the past including formal historians and informal interviews with grandparents)

Role-play

Children's literature (know the criteria for good literature choices: does it tell a good story, is it accurate, whose voices [perspective] is missing?)
