Today in our generation, professionals, students, and politicians are greatly intelligent in Social Studies (Sibika at Kultura).
It is one of the most interesting subjects that come with a galore of advantages. So teachers need to procure adequate knowledge in this subject and plan their lessons accordingly. The National Council of Teachers in English (2008) defines literacy as a collection of cultural and communicative practices shared among members of particular groups.Classrooms re cultures in which the development of these practices not only reflects the social studies, but also expands knowledge of the social studies while fostering civic competence among students. Planning literacy events (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) around content-related literature is a natural way to bring together literacy and social studies.
The authors share literacy strategies that engage young learners in actively and socially constructing knowledge of history, self, and others.That knowledge then becomes the foundation for a democratic classroom where students 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" (National Council for the Social Studies 1994, 3). The redefining vocabulary in the new learning strategy for Social Studies although vocabulary development is an important part of the social studies curriculum, vocabulary activities are often inadequate, leaving students with cursory knowledge of terms.Worse still is the fact that many of the most critical words demarcating the field are not included in those activities. Therefore, a transformation from viewing vocabulary instruction as a single activity that takes time away from social studies instruction to recognizing vocabulary development as a powerful learning strategy is needed.
The offers an educational model that threads vocabulary development throughout the social studies curriculum in a non-intrusive manner, enhancing and reinforcing students' understanding of social studies.This model is based on educational theories that stress the importance of activating prior knowledge, considering the relationships between concepts, comparing and contrasting ideas, and encouraging students to enerate their own meaning of terms. Explanations and examples of vocabulary Studies through the performing arts in the past decade, there have been growing efforts to improve and enhance the delivery of social studies content in the classroom through arts integration.Some educators have used music as a method for teaching social studies and found that interdisciplinary work increases students' understanding of history and different cultures.
This article focuses on a pilot project designed to prepare pre-service social studies teachers on methods of teaching their content area using the performing arts. It describes the context, methodology, and findings, and ends by discussing some of the implications for pre-service social studies teacher education.Participants' reflections suggest that using the performing arts in social studies methods not only promotes student engagement and learning, but also gives voice to students who are rarely heard.

,2012) Social Studies does not confine itself to a few known branches but has expanded its scope to different areas as follows in History, Geography, Civics, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Archaeology, Anthropology, and lastly our Culture. These are the areas that focus primarily on the human behaviors and their individual interactions with the world, cultures and the society.History gives us a glance of the past events and helps the growth of the society based on the past experiences. Students often find it difficult to get Jobs due to their ignorance about the social knowledge. Anthropology is another area that helps us to know, study the evolution of the human life and modern forensics.
This also aids in understanding the human body along with the cultural and racial differences. Economics, Law and Political science are the mportant wings of social studies.These help us to understand the distribution of wealth worldwide and the impact of various phases like recession, boom, inflation, unemployment, taxation, investment etc. Every person needs to know the law of his/ her country. The making of laws, their enforcements, Rights of the citizens, can be learnt when students learn social studies.
Geography helps us to understand the formation of life on earth including the weather conditions, natural calamities, the location of various places etc.A student can learn this through social studies alone. There are a few other areas like psychology which is also connected to social studies. Psychology is important to know the working of the human brain and this helps the students to know the impact of chemicals on their body and the functioning of the brain. Another area to be focused is that of communication as this helps the students to speak and understand the languages. Social Studies (Sibika at Kultura) help us to be responsible members of the society and control crime.
It aids in increasing the knowledge of moral and ethical values. Now it is up to the teachers to prepare and each their lessons well. And also students or people to research or to find more information about in our history but not only in history and also all branches that we have.
