This bibliography is introduced by a short essay on social studies, concentrating on reforms since 1960 and speculating about future trends. The bibliography itself deals with current topics in social studies for intermediate grades and is divided into the following three sections: curriculum, teaching methods, and global/interpersonal learning. The curriculum section includes career education, environmental studies, interdisciplinary studies, racially/ethnic studies, and women's studies. Teaching methods involves the inquiry method, media, simulation/games, and textbooks. Global/interpersonal learning deals with values clarification. The bibliography was developed from a computer search of the ERIC data base by the ERIC Clearinghouse on Teacher Education, and a note on this Clearinghouse is included. (PB)
