The course provides students the theoretical, philosophical and empirical bases for the design, development and implementation of the Social Studies Curriculum. Focus will be given on understanding the philosophy, design, content and process of the present social studies curriculum being used. Students will be exposed to the different perspectives and models of curriculum in social studies. They are also expected to review, implement and evaluate the existing social studies curriculum.
This course works toward a transformational learning experience that provides theoretical underpinnings, formative practice and summative application, with heavy amounts of research and reflection, to develop a student’s portfolio in the production of instructional materials for Social Studies. The students will be oriented towards working with the character and practices of a good instructional materials producer and then moves to the practice and real-world application of practical strategies using traditional and digital technology.
