This subject seeks to develop in students the critical faculties and teaching methods
needed to support an ethically grounded, socially just and inquiry focused humanities
pedagogy. This subject will support pre-service teacher competencies around critical
pedagogy development, assessment design to support just and ethical ends and curriculum
implementation tailored to exploring the role of history, geography and politics in
everyday life, with a focus on local and familial contexts. Particular attention will
be paid to supporting the development of pedagogical skills and strategies that support
pre-service teachers in their classrooms as they foster (a) a critical orientation
to the world and; (b) inquiry based approaches to learning about the past, present
and future. Special consideration will be given to the role that HASS plays in supporting
the five outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework.
Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate understanding of the humanities and social sciences as a learning area
instrumental in scaffolding young learners capacity to be active and informed citizens
