How The Spanish Culture Can Contribute More Significantly To The Social Studies Program Of California Elementary Schools, Samuel Encínas Renteria

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In the past, evidence indicates that the teaching of social studies in many places in California has been a perfunctory, superficial type of instruction, For example, early attempts to expose the child to the historical background of California were through a history or geography book. In most cases, the usual procedure was to tell the child to read so many pages and then answer the questions at the end of the chapter. The main objective was to cover the text by the end of the school term and pass an examination over facts with little or no concern for the …

Effect Of Environment On Athletic Ability, Carroll Clinton Stowell

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
