INTRODUCTIONLEARNING AREA -Humanities and Social SciencesYEAR 10 HISTORY

LENGTH 50 hours per year

The Year 10 curriculum provides a study of the history of the modern world and Australia from 1918 to the present, with an emphasis on Australia in its global context. The twentieth century became a critical period in Australia’s social, cultural, economic and political development. The transformation of the modern world during a time of political turmoil, global conflict and international cooperation provides a necessary context for understanding Australia’s development, its place within the Asia-Pacific region and its global standing.

The content provides opportunities to develop historical understanding through key concepts, including evidence, continuity and change, cause and effect, perspectives, empathy, significance and contestability. These concepts may be investigated within a particular historical context to facilitate an understanding of the past and to provide a focus for historical inquiries.

The history content at this year level involves two strands: historical knowledge and understanding, and historical skills. These strands are interrelated and have been developed to be taught in an integrated way, and in ways that are appropriate to specific local contexts. The order and detail in which they are taught are programming decisions.

HISTORY AND SENIOR SECONDARY PATHWAYSStudents will undertake a course which caters for their learning area development from the Year 10 Australian Curriculum: History. The Year 10 course will provide the background knowledge, skills and understandings to enable students to successfully proceed to appropriate Stage 1 NTCET Humanities and Social Sciences subjects.

BACKGROUNDThe Australian Curriculum states that:

“Teachers use the Australian Curriculum content and achievement standards first to identify current levels of learning and achievement and then to select the most appropriate content (possibly from across several year levels) to teach individual students and/or groups of students. This takes into account that in each class there may be students with a range of prior achievement (below, at, and above the year level expectations) and that teachers plan to build on current learning” (Australian Curriculum and Assessment Authority,2017).

These principles underpin the design and structure of the Northern Territory Year 10 historical skills strand but the chronological continuum in the knowledge and understanding strand should be maintained.

Students will also be provided with skills and pathways for the successful completion of the Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET) Stage 1 and 2 requirements.

PURPOSEThis document provides a strategy for aligning the learning requirements of the Australian Curriculum and the assessment requirements of the NTCET. The Australian Curriculum provides the content descriptions and year level achievement standards for Year 10 History. The NTCET, through assessment design criteria and performance standards provides a common standard for student achievement at Stage 1 and 2 and this will inform and shape the language and standards for achievement in Year 10 History (NTCET, 2017).

Information for this document has been modified from ACARA, the Australian Curriculum and from the SACE websites.

GENERAL CAPABILITIES

Year 10 History 2017 5

Page 6: · Web viewThe Year 10 course will provide the background knowledge, skills and understandings to enable students to successfully proceed to appropriate Stage 1 NTCET Humanities and

The capabilities connect student learning within and across subjects in a range of contexts. They include essential knowledge and skills that enable people to act in effective and successful ways.

The seven capabilities are:• literacy• numeracy• information and communication technology (ICT) capability• critical and creative thinking• personal and social capability• ethical understanding• intercultural understanding.

LiteracyStudents extend their literacy skills through accessing historical sources in print, oral, visual, spatial, and electronic forms. Historical sources include letters, speeches, biographies, photographs, films, artefacts, sites, and archived material. Students use their literacy skills to interpret meaning from a variety of documented and living sources, including those who have experienced historical events, and those who study and interpret them. Students analyse and evaluate sources, ideas, perspectives, and interpretations, and draw conclusions. They examine texts for authority, reliability, and relevance, and consider whose stories are told, not told, and why. Students create texts to communicate, explore, discuss, explain, and argue a point of view, selecting and employing appropriate text structures and language to develop reasoned historical arguments, supported by evidence.

NumeracyStudents extend their numeracy skills through the historical inquiry process, by recognising patterns and relationships chronologically and spatially, through the use of scaled timelines and maps. Students may support their views with data, some of which are numerical in nature. They further develop their numeracy capability as they analyse, interpret, and draw conclusions from statistical information; for example, in relation to change over time.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) CapabilityThrough the historical inquiry process, students extend their information and communication technology capability, particularly in relation to their investigation, analysis, interpretation, and communication of historical concepts, ideas, and information. Students use digital tools to locate and access information, create multimodal texts that communicate historical information, and understand the concept of contestability. They use ICT skills and understandings to investigate and identify the source and credibility of evidence, and to consider perspectives on historical information. Students investigate digital evidence, social media, archives, and the interpretations and representations of the past they convey, including how and why these sources are constructed and the audiences they serve. They explore how the use of ICT is transforming ways in which history is made, documented, and interpreted, and creating new spaces in which histories can be told and heard. Students develop an understanding of the issues involved in the use of ICT when practising ethical scholarship as part of the historical inquiry process.

Critical and Creative ThinkingCritical and creative thinking is integral to the historical inquiry process. Students consider the implications of missing or contestable information in their investigation of historical topics.

Year 10 History 2017 6

Page 7: · Web viewThe Year 10 course will provide the background knowledge, skills and understandings to enable students to successfully proceed to appropriate Stage 1 NTCET Humanities and

Through their historical inquiry, students extend their skills in posing thoughtful questions; selecting, interrogating, and cross-referencing sources; and developing interpretations based on an assessment of the evidence and how it was constructed, and on reasoning. Students analyse, evaluate, and synthesise alternative interpretations and representations of the past. They think critically about who wrote or recorded histories, whose histories have been told, whose histories have not been included and why, and new spaces in which histories can now be told and heard.

Personal and Social CapabilityThrough their study of how individuals, groups, and societies interact and influence change in history, students enhance their personal and social capability. They explore the ideas that shaped developments and movements, and the growth of modern nations, and the impact of these events, experiences, and phenomena on people’s ideas, perspectives, circumstances, and identity. Students investigate and appreciate the perspectives and experiences of others through the practice of empathy. They extend their research and presentation skills to express and justify their views to others while acknowledging the contestability of sources and conclusions. Students develop increasing social awareness and are encouraged to draw conclusions about their world.

Ethical UnderstandingStudents apply and extend their skills in ethical understanding when investigating the diverse perspectives and circumstances that shape the actions and possible motivations of people and groups. Students explore the values, beliefs, and principles that formed the basis of judgments and actions of people in the past. They consider ethical and safe research processes, including respecting the rights and work of others, acknowledging sources, and observing protocols when approaching people and organisations.

Intercultural UnderstandingStudents consider the different beliefs and values of a range of groups across languages, cultures, and nations, and develop an appreciation of the diversity in the modern period. They study the interactions of modern nations and develop an understanding of the nature, causes, and consequences of conflict, dispossession, and interdependence. Students examine different contemporary perspectives on historical experiences, events, ideas, and phenomena. They explore the relationships between different groups within society and their historical contexts, and consider how these contribute to individual and group actions in the contemporary world.

LEARNING SCOPE AND REQUIREMENTSOVERVIEWTeachers should use the content descriptions of the Australian Curriculum to develop a program for their students. There are 42 content descriptions for History that are organised into two strands: historical knowledge and understanding, and historical skills. These strands are interrelated and have been developed to be taught in an integrated way, and in ways that are appropriate to specific local contexts.

Year 10 History 2017 7

The Year 10 achievement standard is aligned with the performance standards for Year 10 History. The performance standards are to be used for the assessment of student learning.

Content ‘elaborations’ (identified by ‘blue codes’ on the electronic version of the curriculum) are provided to illustrate and exemplify content and assist teachers to develop a common understanding of the content descriptions. They are intended as suggestions and are not mandated.

Teachers may elect to teach aspects of the curriculum relevant to their local area or context.

SCHOOL ASSESSMENTAssessment Type 1: Historical SkillsStudents complete 3 historical skills assessments.

Students apply their skills of historical inquiry to research, explore, interpret, and communicate their understanding of ideas, people, and events in history. They develop their historical literacy skills, including by exploring short-term and long-term impacts of ideas, people, groups, and events; analysing and evaluating historical sources; interpreting historical texts; and developing their own perspectives on historical questions.

These assessments will include: at least one sources analysis at least one argument (usually an essay) one alternative assessment

Sources AnalysisStudents undertake at least one sources analysis assessment. In the sources analysis task, students use, interpret, evaluate, and reflect on a selection of different historical sources. Sources may include letters, photographs, film, cartoons, statistics, graphs, maps, journals, newspapers, official reports, oral histories, and books. Teachers are encouraged to use a range of questions and techniques suitable for the examination of historical sources. A suitable sources analysis task may include questions that assess a student’s ability to: comprehend information from sources interpret / draw conclusions from sources cross reference material from sources analyse the limitations and usefulness of sources to the historian in terms of authenticity,

bias, reliability and audience analyse a proposition or question, using sources as evidence in an historical argument.

A selection of three to six sources for any one assessment should be sufficient. The sources may be selected by the teacher or by students in negotiation with their teacher.

Argument TaskStudents undertake at least one argumentative task. Most students should have the opportunity to complete an argumentative essay. As with the historical study task, a historical argument essay requires students to: apply the skills of historical inquiry to select and evaluate sources develop a reasoned historical argument, based on analysis and interpretation of evidence

from sources draw conclusions supported by evidence use subject-specific language employ appropriate argument structure: introduction, main body paragraphs including turn

of argument, and conclusion appropriately acknowledge the sources used.

Assessment Type 2: Historical StudyStudents complete one historical study in which they inquire into, interpret and research a historical topic in depth. The investigation should be on a topic linked to the material covered in class.

Students inquire into, explore, interpret and research a historical idea, event, person or group in depth.

The focus of the historical study may be chosen by the teacher or negotiated by the student.The historical study may be presented in written, oral, or multimodal form. In whichever form, the historical study must enable students to: apply the skills of historical inquiry to evaluate sources develop a reasoned historical argument, based on analysis and interpretation of evidence from

sources draw conclusions supported by evidence use subject-specific language appropriately acknowledge the sources used.

The Historical Study should be a maximum of 800 words, or 5 minutes, or the equivalent in multimodal form.

For this assessment type, students provide evidence of their learning in relation to the following assessment design criteria:
