| Abstract
|
:
|
Religion plays an important role in contemporary American society. Indeed, religious overtones are present in many of our official rituals like the swearing in of presidents down to the classroom practice of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance which clearly intones God. The social studies textbook is central to school-based teachings about religion. In an increasingly pluralistic environment in the United States (U.S.), it is imperative to examine the role that schools and educational resources, namely textbooks, play in teaching young people about societal understandings of various religions. Existing research on social studies teaching and learning about religion generally focuses on researchers' interpretations of how religions are represented in social studies textbooks. There is a paucity of feedback from the textbooks' main users—teachers and students—to examine how the texts are involved in classroom learning.
