Description
It is the contention of this paper that in the future more and
more students in the undergraduate survey courses will be introduced
to Anthropology; concomitantly students approaching teaching in the
field of Social Studies are doing so with a background of anthropology.
Anthropology's growth has precipitated its incorporation in
undergraduate requirements for students majoring in Social Science and
Education.
This paper will explore the ways in which anthropology has
established inroads in education and their importance to future
developments in our school systems. A review of anthropological
theories of educational systems is combined with the problems or
restrictions facing an Anthropological Education liaison. In
conclusion we centered discussion on whether or not anthropologists
can change the school systems with an explanation of ACSP and NSF
projects produced under their auspices.
