近年来，发展研究在社会学、政治学和一般社会科学教学中的作用显然正在普遍复兴。事实上，社会发展研究的重要性日益增加，这反映在AEB和剑桥委员会的“A”级社会学考官制定的教学大纲中。然而，这个表面上新鲜，但迅速成熟的分支学科经历了一个初期问题的爆发。其中一些困难可以归因于主题的重新发现的青年，但其他人可以追溯到根深蒂固的，结构性的缺陷。这在整个教育系统的社会科学教学方法以及社会科学的各种命名不当的学科之间的严格和不自然的区别中都很明显。至于这些问题降临到教师和学生身上，我们打算提出我们的诊断，并提供乐观的，但我们认为必要的，补救措施。本文根据最近在普利茅斯教授社会学和政治学两门独立的发展研究课程的经验，

Indeed, the growing importance of the study of societal development is reflected in its increasing prominence in the syllabi formulated by the'A'level Sociology examiners of the AEB and Cambridge boards. However, this apparently fresh faced, but rapidly maturing subdiscipline has experienced an outbreak of teething problems. Some of these difficulties can be attributed to the subject's rediscovered youth but others are traceable to deep rooted, structural faults. This is apparent both in teaching methods within social sciences throughout much of the education system and in strict and unnatural distinctions between social sciences' various and inaptly named disciplines.
