From the Paper:

"According to Haas and Laughlin (2001), teachers employ a wide range of instructional approaches that largely depend upon their goals and the topic being studied. "The teachers reported using a variety of strategies in their teaching," the authors note. "The majority of the sample (65 percent) still taught in self-contained classrooms, and 47 percent reported teaching social studies as a stand-alone subject" (p. 122). When teachers were asked how frequently they used textbooks, media, and computers, 81 percent reported using maps/globes/satellite images at least once each week with 67 percent indicating use of these geographic tools several times a week; fully 90 percent indicated using a textbook for instruction, 45 percent said they used the book no more than once per week and 8 percent used no textbook."
