- Summary:
-
Intended primarily as an introduction to a world cultures course for secondary grades, this resource unit provides insights into social studies in general and world cultures in particular. Objectives are twofold -- to provide teachers with: 1) a clear but scholarly definition of culture, and 2) a sequence of suggested learning activities which focus on discovery and usage of anthropological generalizations employing an inductive approach. Concepts dealt with include trans-generational learning, cultural differences and similarities, cultural traits, cross cultural perspectives, acculturation, and cultural pluralism. Content is provided on the nature and evaluation of culture, cultural change, cultural areas and cultural problems. Each of the five sections offers a list of generalizations, a content outline which incorporates the generalizations, and learning activities which include a purpose, an overview of activities, and procedures. A bibliography of books, journals, and audio-visual materials, and a supplement of suggestions by teachers who used the unit in a trial effort are provided. (SJM)
