Objectives Of Teaching

Social Studies At Secondary


Level
Introduction
Modern educational standards demand students gain a
deeper perspective on citizenship, the world, and history
than simple memorization of dates, events, and facts
allows. While most people can recall that “in 1492,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue,” the implications of that
famous voyage had far-reaching effects still felt today.
To help students realize the importance of historical events,
geography, cultural differences, and political ideologies,
social studies teachers explore these subjects with their
students in-depth, providing memorable lessons and in-class
discussions that connect the past with the present. Social
studies teachers help students explore how the main themes
of our history play a part in their everyday lives.
Learning historical accounts of how race, class,
gender, language, and nationality affected people in
the past allows students to identify with the material
in a more personal way that transcends simple date
memorization. Read on to discover how social studies
teachers help build critical-thinking skills that
transform their students from mere observers in
society to productive and informed citizens.
II. OBJECTIVES

At the end of the session, you are expected to:


a. make a comparative analysis of teaching Social Studies
in high school levels;
b. b. enumerate the importance of teaching Social
Studies in general; and
TEACHING SOCIAL STUDIES IN HIGH
SCHOOL

During high school, students begin to think more


critically, as they dive deeper into more complex areas
of math, English literature, science, and social studies.
This is also a time of immense cognitive growth and
development for students, as they are granted more
freedom in life and school.
These developments and changes would be more
distressful and worrying for many students if not for the
support of their high school teachers. These individuals
help their students navigate around the pitfalls of
adolescence, while also providing instructions and
information about the various school subjects they’ll
need to understand for future success in life.
In high school social studies, students continue to
expand their understanding of history, geography, and
economics. Students gain a more thorough view of
how the Europeans settled North America, and the
effects of settlement on politics, Native American
society, and the history of the Philippines. They
especially focus on post-World War II Philippines , and
how social programs and the political process has
evolved since then.
Teachers also show their students how
geographic differences led to the rise of various
civilizations, and how some societies had
greater access to resources that accelerated
their development. They also examine various
cultures, and the similarities and differences
between those cultures.
High school social studies teachers focus on building upon
the existing knowledge of students, while encouraging
them to ask “essential questions”.
THANK YOU!!

2. Give importance of teaching Social
Studies in general.

The importance of teaching Social Studies are, it gives


students an understanding of the real world around them.
Students learn about places, cultures, and events around
the world, what conspired to make them the way they
are, and can make inferences about how the rest of the
world works. Social studies educators explore historical
events, geography, cultural diversity, and political beliefs
with their pupils in depth to help them understand the
relevance of these topics. They provide memorable
lectures and in-class conversations that connect the past
with the present. Teaching social studies assist students
in examining how the major themes of our history play a
role in their daily lives.
