Students will develop a fundamental understanding and appreciation of the world in which we live from the interplay between societies and their surroundings in different historical and geographical circumstances. Acquiring subject-specific knowledge, skills and methods in combination with didactical perspectives, the students develop skills necessary to create a purposeful, enquiry-based and co-operative learning environment. This involves active engagement with historical and geographical sources, and an applied focus on relevant teaching methods and strategies.

Minor content

YBroad range of activities, lectures and presentations. We will combine content with didactical approaches and hence make a connection to (especially international) primary education. Themes like the importance of primary sources and egodocuments; controversial issues related to current events; visits to museums and a historical site of European importance (Paris). And again, the transfer to education is key in these activities.

This minor is offered by the study program Primary Education.

 

Structure of the minor

Use of a broad range of activities (interactive lessons, collaboration, visits to museums, historical sites. Relation to the learning outcomes is leading. Demonstrate an understanding of how concepts such as change, continuity, cause and consequence inform our teaching about the reciprocal relationship between local phenomena and global structures.  Critically reflect on interdisciplinary questions related to history and social geography based on an understanding of the interplay between geography and the development of human systems, social organisation, groups and institutions over time.  Demonstrate an understanding of concepts such as mobility, memory, place, space, power and identity in relation to international and intercultural education.  Critically assess the accuracy, validity, contexts and bias of sources and artefacts by applying knowledge about historical periodisations and multiple historiographical perspectives.  Use student-centered, subject-specific methods and appropriate , varied didactical resources, including the local environment, primary, secondary and digital resources, artefacts and students’ own diversity, to create interdisciplinary learning experiences for primary students.
