Fundamental Concepts Covered in Grade 10 History Online Course
The framework of course delivery focuses on the “big ideas” which provide context for the overall expectations. The big ideas reflect the enduring understandings that students retain from their learning, transfer to other subjects, and draw upon throughout their lives. These enduring understandings include: (1) THE CONCEPTS OF HISTORICAL THINKING Therefore, this course is designed to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to promote the four concepts of historical thinking – historical significance, cause and consequence, continuity and change, and historical perspective. These underpin thinking and learning this course. At least one concept of historical thinking is identified as the focus for each overall expectation in each unit. (2) THE HISTORICAL INQUIRY PROCESS In each history course in the Canadian and world studies curriculum, Strand A focuses explicitly on the historical inquiry process, guiding students in their investigations of events, developments, issues, and ideas. This process is not intended to be applied in a linear manner: students will use the applicable components of the process in the order most appropriate for them and for the task at hand. Although strand A covers all of the components of the inquiry process, it is important to note that students apply skills associated with the inquiry process throughout the content strands in each course.
