Research and Validity
A Social Studies Program Backed by Research
In developing Prentice Hall social studies programs, the use of research studies is a central, guiding element. Research indicated key elements of a social studies textbook program that ensure students success: support for reading, differentiated instruction, geographic literacy development, and an ongoing assessment strand. This research was conducted in several phases and continues today.
Exploratory Needs Assessment Research
Along with periodic surveys concerning curriculum issues and challenges, we conducted specific product development research, which included discussions with teachers and advisory panels, focus groups, and quantitative surveys. We explored the specific needs of teachers, students, and other educators regarding the program we developed.
During this phase of research, we identified essential components of successful social studies teaching and learning. Our experienced authorship team incorporated findings from the large body of available research to develop the instructional design of Prentice Hall programs.
During this phase, we worked to develop prototype materials. Then we tested the materials with qualitative and quantitative evaluations, including comments from content area specialists, administrators, teachers, and other reviewers. We received feedback about our instructional design in our early prototype testing. Results were channeled back into program development for improvement.
This phase of research asks the question, "Does the program really work?" It involves monitoring the program in the market over one or more years. We talk to our users about what works, and what can be improved, and then we begin the cycle over again.
