COLLEGE OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN SERVICES
CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION
Undergraduate
| 04 - 124 | APC 3 | BAE: Social Science Education - Social Science (6-12) Track |
Summary of Request
The proposed changes will align the major and track titles with the titles used by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE). As the national professional organization representing social studies education, the NCSS uses the description "social studies" in lieu of "social science" in all organizational standards. The FLDOE uses the term "social studies" within the Sunshine State Standards and the Subject Matter Content Standards for Florida's Teachers. Finally, current COEHS courses related to this major and track use the words "social studies" instead of "social science."
