Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to build a conceptual framework for defining, clarifying, and understanding social studies curriculum and instruction. Through a systematic search of the literature surrounding the field of social studies education, five conceptually distinct traditions within the social studies have been identified, and these traditions comprise a comprehensive, consistent framework which will assist in bringing conceptual clarity to the field of study. The five traditions comprising the framework are: (1) Social Studies as Knowledge for the Sake of Knowledge, (2) Social Studies in the Child-Centered Tradition, (3) Social Studies as Reflective Inquiry, (4) Social Studies as Structure of the Disciplines, and (5) Social Studies as Socio-Political Involvement.
