As reflective teaching has been a major concern in education with the movement for increased teacher professionalism and involvement in all aspects of school decision-making, the 10 articles in this volume address reflective practice in the social studies with an emphasis on how reflection and inquiry can contribute to both teacher and curriculum development. The six articles in the first section present reflective practice as a way to link curriculum development with the professional development of teachers. The four articles in the second section describes specific models of practice for teacher education, teacher research, and collaboration among school and university personnel.

Thornton); (2) "The Social Studies Teacher as Curriculum Creator: Reflections on Teaching Middle School Social Studies" (Jessie B.
