WHAT IS SOCIAL SCIENCES?
The subject Social Sciences consists of History and Geography. Both History and Geography should be taught and assessed during every term of the school year. Although the two disciplines are kept separate, this curriculum is designed to complement the knowledge (content, skills and concepts) outlined in each.
HISTORY What is History?
History is the study of change and
development in society over time.
The study of History enables people
to understand and evaluate how
past human action has an impact on
the present and how it influences
the future.
SPECIFIC AIMS OF HISTORY
The specific aims of History are to create:
an interest in and enjoyment of the study of
the past;
knowledge, understanding and appreciation
of the past and the forces that shape it;
the ability to undertake a process of
historical enquiry based on skills; and
an understanding of historical concepts,
including historical sources and evidence.
GEOGRAPHY
What is Geography?
Geography is the study of the human and
physical environment. Geography is an
integrated discipline that examines both
physical and human processes over space
and time. Geography helps us to
understand our complex world. It offers us
a bridge between the human and physical
sciences.
GEOGRAPHY CONT..
There are many branches of Geography.
Physical Geography examines natural
processes and features including the
atmosphere, landforms, and
ecosystems. Human Geography is
concerned with the activities and
impact of people on the earth.
THE GEOGRAPHY CURRICULUM AIMS TO DEVELOP
LEARNERS WHO:
• Are curious about the world they live in
• Have a sound general knowledge of places and the natural forces at work on earth
• Understand the interaction between society and the natural environment
• Think independently and support their ideas with sound knowledge
• Care about their planet and the well-being of all who live on it
• Understand and work with a range of sources – including maps, data and photographs
• Observe and engage with phenomena in their own environment
• Find out about places, people, events, and issues using different sources, e.g. books, people,
photographs, the Internet
• Communicate ideas and information
• Make informed decisions and take appropriate action
PROJECTS
Learners complete one project in
Social Sciences in each grade.
They therefore do a project in
either History or Geography in a
given year.
