Young, Barbara Curriculum Development Data Analysis Educational Assessment Educational Needs Educational Trends Elementary Secondary Education Integrated Curriculum National Surveys Needs Assessment Program Development Questionnaires Social Studies State Government State History State Surveys Tables (Data) The booklet summarizes results from national, state, and local surveys which evaluated the need for state studies. The surveys were conducted during the fall of 1976 by the Maine Studies Curriculum Project (MSCP) in order to provide a basis for planning the Maine Studies Curriculum. MSCP was funded in 1976 through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to produce a K-12 interdisciplinary social studies curriculum and related resources for the study of Maine. Section I summarizes national survey results. Of 43 respondent Chief State School Officers, 69% have laws requiring state studies and 43% have some kind of state department curricula or aids related to state studies.

Of the 89% which do teach Maine studies, 43% teach it at the eighth grade level, 74% teach state studies primarily in the social studies, and 43% use some kind of a text. Section III contains 131 teacher responses from one Maine school district. Of 131 teachers, 81% indicated that Maine studies would be important if a curriculum were introduced. Library books and teachers were the most useful resources currently being used. All questionnaires and tables of response statistics are included in the pamphlet. (Author/AV)
