  • High School History Textbooks and the Causes of the Great Depression

    M Scott Niederjohn, Mark C Schug et al.ARTICLEThe Social Studies2022References: 2

    Years ago, it became established that the severity and length of the Great Depression were due largely to misguided Federal Reserve monetary policy and the resulting catastrophic bank failures. This result is confirmed by surveys of scholars in the area and books specifically written on economic history. Yet the leading textbooks used in high school US history fail to reflect these findings. The texts (1) tend to ignore the recognized causes of t…

  • What Numbers Do Teachers Need to Know to Make Sense of Political Campaigns

    George Langelett, Mark C SchugARTICLEThe Social Studies2005

    The rhetoric of political campaigns is loaded with references about the economy.

That makes economists cringe and is a special problem for social studies teachers who are expected to know about such things. In this article, we offer a primer on economic concepts that are associated with election campaigns. Such a primer may h…

    Open AccessStephen Buckles, Michael Watts et al.ARTICLECitizenship Social and Economics…1997

    The standards movement in the United States — a movement, which is roughly analogous to the National Curriculum movement in the United Kingdom, has now produced national standards for several subject areas. Social studies educators in the United States now possess a set of five national standards. But will these standards make reforming the curriculum more or less difficult? We used the economics content standards published by the National Counci…

  • Teaching the Economics of the Environment

    Open AccessMark C SchugARTICLECitizenship Social and Economics…1997Cited by: 1

    This article addresses what is currently taught about the environment in the school curriculum and explains how an economics approach can change it. A recent study in the United States provides evidence supporting the suspicions of many economists that the environmental education in schools is often flawed. The Independent Commission on Environmental Education (1997) concluded that most curriculum materials it examined lacked an emphasis on basic…
