EDSS420 History Curriculum and Teaching 1

10 cp

This unit is designed to enable students to begin to understand teaching/learning methodologies of Secondary History. With particular reference to the teaching of history in junior secondary classes, students will consider appropriate classroom strategies which enable students to evaluate sources and make judgments based on them. Students will also develop strategies to enable their pupils to effectively communicate logical arguments concerning historical issues and to research and investigate historical problems. The teaching of history as an inquiry into past human experiences which can contribute to an understanding of the present is a recurrent theme in this unit.
