PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the dynamics of critical thinking for informed action within the frame of six sample US states’ Kindergarten-5 social studies content standards.Design/methodology/approachThis study used quantitative content analysis. In addition to describing how the states’ standards present critical thinking for informed action, four variables were included: the enrollment weight of the states, textbook adoption status to advance standards, summative test status for social studies and grade levels.FindingsThe results indicate complex variations in context-based critical thinking levels are required by the sample states’ content standards with an extensive orientation toward superficial contextual thinking.Originality/valueThe study provides a new lens with which to make sense of students’ context-based critical thinking, as it relates to the expectations found in standards.

This article examines the theoretical assumptions underlying K-12 economic curriculum and the consequences of this curriculum for citizenship education and democracy. Specifically, the article discusses scholarship related to the critique of neoclassic economic theory’s role in influencing the Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics and the trickle-down effects into state standards and textbooks. From the literature, the author uncovers two main critiques of neoclassicism: that neoclassic theory is unrealistic and impersonal. Neoclassic theory has enormous consequences for the civic mission of social studies. The author investigates the extent to which neoclassical theory makes for good citizenship and is desirable for a democratic society.

The growth of the digital world brings positive and also negative influences in the society, For example, the overwhelmed of uneducated material, provoking news, the contents teaches unhealthy behavior, or hoaxes. Most of the people do not have abilities to recognize quality contents or well written contents. Those conditions are really matter, in the 21st century, people must have digital literacy the competencies. In order that the societies will be ready to deal with technology and to address the usefulness of digital content.The community must act as a smart content consumer, and also as a good content producer, so that people have ability to create good digital content and get the benefit of information. However, due to the lack of digital content framework, people have difficulty assessing the quality of digital content, and it is difficult to create content with good criteria. Therefore, it is important to create digital content standards that have a positive goal in the age of technology.To make digital content standards a digital content model was developed which was developed with Research and Development methods, involved students and cyber society on the internet. The digital content framework contains several elements, such as: pillar of social studies education, writing, knowledge, digital media, search engine optimization, and digital copyrights, which will be published in User Generated Content Platform. Furthermore, digital content model framework has been tested and has a useful principle that is used as a guidance for making high quality digital content which considers the virtue of society and the art of state of information technology.

With the publication of the United Nations, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on report of the Asian Regional Symposia on Arts Education nearly one and decades ago, scholars and educators have urged Asian teachers, including Indonesia to incorporate arts and culture into curriculum to improve the quality of education, yet efforts connecting arts, especially gamelan music into social studies is lacking. Built upon the previous research on integrated curriculum which aligned with National Education Standard Board (Indonesian: Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan or BSNP), on both process and content standards this article aimed to offer a rationale for incorporating Javanese gamelan music potential into social studies classroom and propose a framework for planning. Social studies classroom components included assigned readings on Indonesian national history, especially in the Hindu-Buddhist eras in small group discussion. With this approach and its lesson it is presumed that social studies and gamelan teachers benefit of integrating gamelan music into social studies. Keywords: Javanese gamelan, integration, framework, social studies.

Economic Understanding

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 Council on Economic Education as the basis examining the economic content in the social studies, history, civics, and geography standards. Our analysis suggests that important economics content is absent in places where it should be prominent; it is presupposed in places where it should be explicitly identified, and it is sometimes represented inaccurately. If our analysis is correct, then efforts to use the national standards as the basis of curriculum improvement — especially as efforts relate to improving economic understanding — face an uphill task.
