Abstract

This study purported to: (1) locate and identify economic concepts and generalizations contained in a sixth grade social studies text by Cutright and Durand: “Living As American Neighbors”; (2) indicate by the use of a scale whether the identified concepts and generalizations were merely mentioned, partially developed of fully developed; and, (3) verify the researchers selections of concepts and generalizations through the presence of generalizations in the Stanford Studies similar to those identified by the author and found in “Living as American Neighbors”.
