Quick Navigation

Overview

Teaching Humanities and Social Sciences, 7e prepares teachers to develop and implement lessons in the humanities and social sciences learning area from F-10. It successfully blends theory with practical approaches to provide a basis for teaching that is engaging, inquiry-based and relevant to students’ lives.

Using Version 8.1 of the Australian Curriculum, the text discusses the new structure of the humanities and social sciences learning area. Chapters on history, geography, civics and citizenship, and economics and business discuss the nature of these subjects and how to teach them to achieve the greatest benefit for students, both as sub-strands within the Year F-6/7 HASS subject and as distinct Year 7-10 subjects.

Throughout, the book maintains its highly respected philosophical and practical orientation, including a commitment to deep learning in a context of critical inquiry. With the aid of this valuable text, teachers can assist primary, middle and secondary students to become active and informed citizens who contribute to a just, democratic and sustainable future.

New, print versions of this book come with bonus online study tools on the Search Me! platform.

  • Enhanced layout and full-colour visual design for improved student navigation of the key issues, theories and concepts covered in this valuable resource for pre-service and graduate primary and secondary teachers
  • The general shift in focus from curriculum towards teaching practice has resulted in the following changes: combining the content of chapters 2 (Our globalising world) and 19 (Global education) and moving it to a new first chapter; switching the history and geography chapters to now become 10 (History as a learning area), 11 (Teaching historical inquiry), 12 (Geography as a learning area) and 13 (Teaching geographical inquiry). Chapter 15 (Integrating the curriculum) has been moved to earlier in the text to chapter 3, as this is critical for this area, especially for primary teaching
  • NEW focused 'Check your understanding' boxes include questions that allow pre-service teachers to assess and reflect on their own knowledge and understanding of chapter concepts. A twelve-month subscription to Search Me! Education provides students with 24-hour access to full-text articles from hundreds of scholarly and popular periodicals for wider reading and assignments. Search Me! Education keywords at the end of each 'Check your understanding' box assist students to explore these topics further and find the latest references
  • NEW focused 'Teaching and Learning' activity boxes provide activities for pre-service teachers to use with primary and/or secondary students and are linked to the relevant Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST). These could be used to develop students-teachers' portfolio of evidence
  • Students think about their own connection with teaching humanities and social sciences by considering the NEW 'Reflection questions' at the end of chapters
  • NEW grid at the beginning of the text shows how the content of chapters relates to the various standards of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers
