1. A Theoretical Study on the Principles of Social Studies Lesson Planning based on the Theory of Constructivism My study analyzed constructivist' s theories of EngIish and American Social Studies lesson planning. I found two examples of typical history lessons based on the theory of constructivism. The first example is American high school history curriculum "History Alive". By analyzing this curriculum, I could isolate three elements for history lesson planning based on Social Constructivism. And by applying these basic fundamentals, it is suggested that students can improve their historical understanding, broadening their point of viewas a by-product of their expandinghistory-related semanticnetwork. Another example is the American High School History Lesson "Revisiting Lexington Green". By analyzing this lesson, I could isolateonemain element, makingsenseofhistorythrough readingtexts.2.
