• Resumen

  • The characteristics of social inquiry and artistic thought are identified and analyzed in light of their implied curricular relationships. Both social scientific and artistic thought make use of logical and alogical thought patterns. The biological basis for thought makes possible linkages of social studies curriculum to artistic modes such as modern dance. Social studies educator Harold Rugg suggested the need for the curriculum to be as motor focused as it is word focused. A sample lesson drawn from primary grades social studies demostrates the techniques for linking modern dance movement and choreography with social studies curriculum.
