Content
This unit is the first of two Humanities, Societies & Environments (HSE) units which focus on expanding students’ understandings of curriculum teaching and resources in primary school Humanities, Societies and Environments Education (History, Geography, Economics, Civics & Citizenship). Building upon the discipline unit undertaken in the first year of studies (insert AIA code), this unit aims to increase student’s awareness of the diversity of peoples and groups who live in Australia, and the different ways in which world-view is developed. To this end, critical civics and citizenship understandings are constructed through experiences of Indigenous, Local, National Asian, Global and Sustainability perspectives.
