Junior History (Secondary)

Students are able to enrol in any offered mode of a course (on-campus, external or online), regardless of the program mode of study they enrolled in.

This minor is only available to students who are studying the Bachelor of Education.

The study of history is based on evidence derived from remains of the past. It is interpretative by nature, promotes debate and encourages thinking about human values, including present and future challenges. The process of historical inquiry develops transferable skills, such as the ability to ask relevant questions; critically analyse and interpret sources; consider context; respect and explain different perspectives; develop and substantiate interpretations, and communicate effectively. The content includes Australian History, Australia and the modern world, Ancient worlds, and the Modern world. Please refer to the for further information.
Students wishing to teach History as a minor Teaching Area must complete a minimum of 4 and maximum of 6 Teaching Area courses. Students beginning in 2014 or later are required to complete at least 4 content courses and 1 Teaching Area specific curriculum and pedagogy course. Once employed, in most schools it would be expected that you could teach History in Years 7 – 10.
