This study examined the instructional methods and practices used by secondary social studies teachers in the 21st century. The researcher surveyed 281 social studies teachers across the U.S. regarding their teaching styles. Key findings included that social studies instruction has traditionally focused on lectures, memorization of facts, and textbook readings. However, 21st century skills emphasize more engaged, active learning approaches. The study aimed to determine if modern social studies instruction has shifted away from traditional passive styles toward more interactive, student-centered methods as recommended for developing 21st century skills.
