EDSS438 Society and Culture Curriculum and Teaching 1

10 cp

This unit is designed to enable students to begin to understand teaching/learning methodologies of secondary studies of society and culture. With particular reference to the teaching of society and culture 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 communicate effectively logical arguments concerning sociological and cultural issues and to research and investigate problems. The teaching of society and culture as an inquiry into the variety of human experiences, which can contribute to an understanding of the present society, is a recurrent theme in this unit.
