A Systematic Review on Teaching Methods Used in Social Studies Course
International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, v15 n2 p1155-1179 2023
The aim of this study is to make a systematic review of the articles published in Web of Science, ERIC and Google Scholar on the teaching methods used in the Social Studies course between 2019-2022. For this purpose, the studies included in the study were determined according to certain keywords. Studies were determined by using the keywords "social studies", "social studies teaching" together with "teaching methods" and "teaching techniques" in Web of Science, ERIC and Google Academic databases in accordance with the purpose of the research. As a result of the research, it was seen that drama and cooperative learning were used more among the methods and techniques used as teaching methods in the social studies course between 2019-2022. In addition, it has been determined that a significant part of the teaching methods used in other publications consists of methods that are taught through technological tools (Web 2nd tools, Teaching with digital stories, Digital game-based teaching). After examining the relevant databases, a total of 22 studies, which were in the area of interest of the research, were reached. It is seen that the research method used in the majority of these studies is the quantitative research method (13), the remaining studies are mixed research methods (6) and qualitative research methods (3). According to the results of the studies, it was seen that positive results were achieved for all of the teaching methods and techniques employed in the social studies course between the years 2019-2022. These observed learning losses have been found to occur in a variety of subjects, grade levels, and geographic regions.
