European history in a global age: Europe and its place in the curriculum.

European history in a global age: Europe and its place in the curriculum. - 273 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 2009.

This dissertation attempts to do two things. First, it seeks to address how European history became an important component of the social studies curriculum at the end of the 19th century. By cataloguing changes in America's cultural, intellectual and political history over the course of the 19th century, this dissertation shows how European civilization acquired increased importance in the college and high school curriculum and in the scholarly work of historians. This importance in turn spurred the inclusion of European history into the then expanding social studies curricular scope and sequence. Second, by analyzing state standards and textbooks, this dissertation seeks to assess the status of European history in the curriculum today. The broad theme that unites these two objectives is that of curriculum reform. The integration of European history into the social studies curriculum in many ways represents the product of a successful curriculum reform effort. This fact is in itself significant, as educational history repeatedly warns that attempts to reform the curriculum typically result in failure and frustration. Later, a new reform movement---labeled in this dissertation as the "world history movement"---challenged European history's place in the curriculum. This fact raises questions about the relative success of this second reform effort. Has the world history movement been able as yet to displace European history's position within the curriculum? To answer this question, social studies standards from all fifty states were analyzed, along with the most popular high school and advanced placement world history textbooks. The research in this dissertation yielded the following conclusions. First, the movement to integrate European history into the social studies curriculum was successful; most schools adopted an approach that placed greater emphasis on European history. Second, this curricular orientation has proven difficult to supplant. Even in the face of a determined reform effort to introduce a broader perspective, European history still constitutes the bulk of the content in classes termed "world history" taught at the high school level. While textbooks and standards do show the influence of world history scholars, the content and its chronological orientation remains highly European in focus. The world history movement has, as yet, met only limited success as a reform movement in supplanting European history from the secondary curriculum.
