Native Americans in United States history textbooks: An analysis. - 245 p.

Adviser: Robert P. Green, Jr.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Clemson University, 2004.

This research is a content analysis of fifteen U.S. History textbooks currently under contract in the state of South Carolina in grades three, four, five, eight, and eleven. The purpose was to examine the treatment of Native Americans in regard to coverage, content, and pedagogical exercises based on the recommendations of the National Council for the Social Studies, the National History Standards, and multiculturalists. The major research question was: "In what ways does the treatment of Native Americans in current U.S. History textbooks offer, or fail to offer, opportunities for students to develop the types of knowledge and skills envisioned by recent reform movements?".

520 $a This research is a content analysis of fifteen U.S. History textbooks currently under contract in the state of South Carolina in grades three, four, five, eight, and eleven. The purpose was to examine the treatment of Native Americans in regard to coverage, content, and pedagogical exercises based on the recommendations of the National Council for the Social Studies, the National History Standards, and multiculturalists. The major research question was: "In what ways does the treatment of Native Americans in current U.S. History textbooks offer, or fail to offer, opportunities for students to develop the types of knowledge and skills envisioned by recent reform movements?".
520 $a Data collection involved the identification of all information concerning Native Americans in each textbook. Data were then organized into time periods and categories as a way to identify themes and patterns that cut across the texts. Several patterns were revealed. First, the heaviest concentration of material was found in the time periods 1492--1890, and lightest in the time periods 1890--present. Second, much of the material tended to be similar across grade levels, although there was more expansive coverage at the higher grade levels. Other patterns included balanced treatment in some textbooks, fewer controversial issues in the elementary textbooks, and generally, a lack of Native American perspectives.
520 $a Pedagogical exercises were also identified. Their analysis revealed several problems. A disproportionate number of pedagogical exercises were recall-type questions. Many pedagogical exercises were very similar regardless of grade level. Some pedagogical exercises were ahistorical, had no clear answer, or failed to reflect high quality content.
520 $a This study suggests that to address the expectations of the reform movements, textbook writers and publishers need to provide more balanced treatments, confront controversial issues, and include Native American perspectives across and within grade levels. Also, more thought and effort should be incorporated into pedagogical exercises to provide students with opportunities for critical reflection.
