TITLE: Social Studies Teaching Competencies: An Inventory
of Teaching Competencies in the Social Studies.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1977
NOTE: 23 p.
ABSTRACT: This inventory of social studies teaching
competencies was developed to serve as a model and guide
for social studies instruction in Pennsylvania elementary
and secondary schools. It is designed to aid teachers in
developing competency-based programs. The inventory is a
combination of ideas from six regional workshops attended
by teachers, administrators, teacher educators, student
teachers, graduate students, and consultants in competency
based teacher education. An introductory statement cautions
that the guide should not be used as a basis for evaluation
of teachers presently in the field except as a general
guide for in-service training. Competency-based teacher
education should begin in the institutions which provide
specialized courses in education. Forty-seven competencies
are listed, grouped according to four categories. The
categories are:
(1) cognitive domain, content, and overall social studies
knowledge; (2) skills, techniques, and methodology; (3)
values such as personal commitment, objectivity and
intellectual integrity, acceptance of diversity and
pluralism in our society; and (4) professional teaching
characteristics. All competencies should be considered
applicable to all elementary and secondary grade levels.
