| Abstract: | The New Social Studies curriculum development movement was short-lived, in part because project staff were not sensitive to
the realities of the educational context within which their materials and methods would be used. Although textbook-based recitation
persists in social studies classrooms, textbooks are not a ready mechanism for reform. Among the reasons are the institutional
constraints on publishers and the difficulty in effecting curricular change without appropriate teacher preparation and modifications
in the educational environment.
