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.
