Dаriа Smirnоvа U#: 39016688 University оf Sоuth Florida College of Education Department: Teaching and Learning Program: Doctor of Philosophy in Curriculum and Instruction Concentration: Social Science Education (PHD-CUR-DSO) Qualifying Examination Qualifying Exam Dates February 19, 20, & 21, 2024 Day 1 Social Studies The National Council for Social Studies defines Social Studies as the study of individuals, communities, systems, and their interactions across time and place that prepares students for local, national, and global civic life. (NCSS, 2023 https://www.socialstudies.org/media-information/definition-social-studies-nov2023 ) In the evolving landscape of civic education, museums hold a unique position as community intermediaries and connectors of disparate sectors, communities, and opportunities. They offer a richness in historical narrative and a diversity of perspectives that often surpass what is available in school curricula. As institutions, museums possess agility in addressing topics that are yet to be embedded into formal educational standards. This exam question seeks to explore the innovative ways that museums may enhance civic education for secondary students, with a particular focus on the contexts of the United States and Russia. Question: a) Historical and Contemporary Civic Education Trends: Analyze the historical evolution and current state of civic education for secondary students in the United States and Russia. Discuss key elements historically integral to civic education programs and the reasons behind their promotion or negation in society. Examine how changes in national priorities, legislative mandates, and educational policies have shaped civic education in both countries. Reflecting on Peter Levine's statement in "The Future of Democracy" that "the purpose of civic education is to enhance the civic engagement of young people," evaluate to what extent the current civics curriculum reflects the real-life rights, civic roles, and responsibilities of secondary school learners, and assess its relevance to young people’s lives. Identify and discuss any existing gaps or shortcomings. b) Museum's Role in Civic Education: Explore the potential of museums as partners in education and civic engagement, and the challenges they face in both the United States and Russia. Consider the different historical, cultural, and political contexts of these two countries and how they influence the approach and effectiveness of museums in civic education. Examine how museums may supplement or complement the educational shifts identified in Part a, particularly in their capacity to offer diverse historical narratives and address contemporary issues. Evaluate the role of museums as agile educational institutions in fostering civic education among secondary students. Consider their ability to present history with greater breadth and depth, and to include a wider array of voices in shaping historical narratives. Discuss specific examples to illustrate how museums contribute uniquely to civic education. Requirement: Your response should incorporate a range of academic perspectives and empirical evidence from both foundational and contemporary research. Cite these sources to support your analysis and viewpoints. Your discussion should reflect a comprehensive understanding of the various pathways, including museums and formal educational institutions, that can be employed to enhance civic education and engagement among secondary students in these diverse geopolitical contexts.
