This subject prepares students to teach the humanities and social sciences in primary schools. It focuses on the pedagogy and knowledge required to interpret and teach both the NSW K-6 History and Geography Syllabuses as major case studies. The principles that are developed are appropriate for the humanities and social science teaching in other states. The purposes and construction of contemporary Social Science curriculum in primary schools are explored. Drawing on contemporary learning principles, the subject models student-centred teaching strategies aimed at cognitive, skills and values outcomes.
