  1. The social studies teacher-coach: A quantitative analysis comparing coaches and non-coaches across how/what they teach.Ryan T. Knowles, Andrea M. Hawkman & Sarah R. Nielsen - 2020 - Journal of Social Studies Research 44 (1):117-125.
    This quantitative study of 3557 high school teachers from 44 states assesses the implications of the social studies teacher-coach. The study compares social studies teacher-coaches and non-coaches in terms of teacher demographics and school contexts, disciplines taught, and instructional preferences. Substantial differences between coaches and non-coaches were found across gender, community type, and teaching experiences. Teacher-coaches disproportionately taught general classes such as government, Economics, and Geography, while non-coaches are more likely to teach Advanced Placement courses. Finally, self-report data measuring teacher's (...)

  • Who are we? The Demographic and Professional Identity of Social Studies Teacher Educators.Christopher L. Busey & Stewart Waters - 2016 - Journal of Social Studies Research 40 (1):71-83.
    Growth in racial and ethnic diversity among public school P-12 students stands in stark contrast to the teaching population who tend to be monolingual, White females. Secondary social studies teachers defy demographic teacher trends, as they tend to be male, albeit White males who still are not representative of the students they teach. What is missing from the discourse of student–teacher imbalance however is discussion surrounding diversity among social studies teacher educators. The purpose of this study was to examine racial, (...)

  • Can we meet our mission? Examining the professional development of social studies teachers to support students with disabilities and emergent bilingual learners.Ricky Dale Mullins, Thomas Williams, David Hicks & Sara Brooke Mullins - 2020 - Journal of Social Studies Research 44 (1):195-208.
    In this paper, we conduct a secondary analysis of The Institute of Educational Sciences’ (IES) 2011-2012 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) data, a self-reported, nationally representative database to examine: (a) the average caseload of students with disabilities and emergent bilingual learners within and across social studies content areas, as well how social studies teachers’ caseloads compare with other content area disciplines and (b) the extent and perceived utility of professional development opportunities social studies teachers receive to support both students with (...)

  • Coaching to Teach: Preservice Social Studies Teachers’ Experiences with a Hiring Contingency.Caroline J. Conner & Chara Haeussler Bohan - 2021 - Journal of Social Studies Research 45 (1):1-13.
    Social studies teachers are frequently athletic coaches who are often criticized for prioritizing coaching over teaching. The purpose of this study is to investigate the experiences of preservice social studies teachers regarding the relationship between coaching and teaching with respect to hiring in middle and secondary schools. The researchers employed phenomenological research methods to investigate the hiring experiences of social studies teacher candidates. Survey and interview data were collected from social studies teacher candidates at the three largest universities in a (...)

  • Role retreatism of social studies teacher-coaches: An unequal balancing act.Caroline J. Conner - 2020 - Journal of Social Studies Research 44 (1):185-194.
    The current study explores role retreatism in secondary social studies teachers who coach athletics. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which social studies teacher-coaches retreat towards coaching and reasons for such prioritization. A case study relying primarily on interview and document data was conducted which included three secondary social studies teachers who coach football in the southeastern United States. Results indicate that participants prioritized coaching over teaching to cope with role conflict. The study further highlights (...)

  • The Associations of Teacher Professional Characteristics, School Environmental Factors, and State Testing Policy on Social Studies Educators’ Instructional Authority.Hyeri Hong & Gregory E. Hamot - 2015 - Journal of Social Studies Research 39 (4):225-241.
    Knowledge of pedagogy and social studies content influences a teacher's decision making and helps teachers conduct sound instructional practices despite the influence of high-stakes testing policies. Using national data from the Survey of the Status of Social Studies (S4), this study examined the associations of teachers’ professional characteristics, school environmental factors, and state testing policy on self-reported levels of authority that secondary level social studies teachers (grades 6–12) hold over key classroom tasks. Through hierarchical multiple regression analysis, key findings from (...)
