Course description
This course considers key ideas about teaching Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) to young people in the primary schooling years. It explores the significance in this context of the understandings and inquiry processes of a range of discipline areas, including history, geography, civics and citizenship, and their connections with environmental studies, with particular reference to Australia and its place in the global system. It examines pedagogical approaches relevant to teaching the Australian HASS curriculum.
