4. The primary purpose of social studies is to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world. Purpose of Social Studies Education

5. Primary Goal of Social Studies The main goal of Social Studies is to help students understand how people, communities, and institutions interact with each other. This subject includes learning about history, geography, economics, civics, and culture, aiming to develop critical thinking skills and a sense of responsibility as citizens.

6. History of Social Studies The history of social studies as a field of education and inquiry traces its roots to the early 20th century, though it encompasses many disciplines that date back much further, such as history, geography, political science, and economics. Social studies as a formal subject emerged in response to the growing need for an informed and civically engaged citizenry in modern democratic societies .

7. Myths on the Origin of Social Studies History Foundation Theory Big Bang Theory of 1916 CSE Theory

8. Continuous Spontaneous Existence (CSE) Theory The theory suggest that social studies exist without historical antecedents, suggesting that its past is irrelevant. Scholars have largely overlooked how social studies became part of basic education, with many asserting it emerged alongside other subjects. Saxe notes that various educational texts fail to explain the origins of social studies, leading to an "ahistorical mentality" where educators are encouraged to shape the subject without considering its history

9. Big Bang Theory of 1916 The Big Bang Theory of 1916 suggests that Social Studies suddenly appeared as a field in 1916. This idea is found in literature, such as a special issue of the International Journal of Social Education titled "Social Studies as a Discipline". One writer confidently asserts that Social Studies "was born in 1916", citing a secondary source as proof. However, when the secondary source (Atwood, 1982) is checked, more errors are found. Atwood not only uses 1916 as the big bang date for Social Studies, but she also incorrectly cites Earle Rugg as the originator of the field

10. History Foundation Theory The history foundation theory is an extension or deeper interpretation of the big bang theory. Here conventional wisdom holds that, since history education existed before 1916, obviously history was the seedbed or promulgator of Social Studies. Many scholars argue that the prominence of history curricula before 1916 laid the groundwork for the development of social studies. Keels emphasizes the link between historians' influence and the 1916 social studies report, while Hertzberg highlights connections between this report and earlier history organization reports from 1893 to 1911.
