One of the main functions of the education institution is to socialize students and accelerate their socialization process. It can be said that the most relevant textbooks on socialization are social study books. On the other hand, we should consider the teaching methods, which are an integral part of the teaching profession. But it seems that besides all the variables and factors involved, one of the reasons for the ineffectiveness of teaching educational content in schools, especially social studies teaching, is the frequent and excessive use of traditional methods (lectures, explanations, etc.).This paper is written with a qualitative approach and with a descriptive-analytical approach, criticizes traditional teaching methods (disadvantages such as passivity, inflexibility, teacher activism, etc.), Two most effective strategies to teaching of social studies are: 1. "Project Strategy", 2. "Current Events Strategy". This paper analyzes the project strategy, such as the reasons, the necessity and importance of this strategy in teaching social studies, project segmentation, project outline, how to evaluate projects, various stages of knowledge project design. We learn in analyzing current events strategy of important issues such as the nature of current events strategy, features and coordination of current events, the importance of current events strategy in teaching social studies, how to use it in social studies education, current events discussion and criteria and so on . Since this article is a kind of applied research, our target population and target audience are educational science students at Farhangian University and elementary school teacher.
