Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study examines the effective teaching methods of global problems in social studies. As global problems become more serious in the world, it is very important for teachers to use the effective teaching methods of global problems to students. Though there are some serious difficulties in teaching them which prevent children from understanding the world deeply, this study tries to improve the teaching methods of global problems in Japan by examining them in the United States where a variety of effective ones have been suggested.
