The course further explores a range of instructional models and strategies, with the goal of fostering the competence to apply them in real classroom contexts. In response to the rapid changes in contemporary society and evolving educational demands, students will also investigate and implement new teaching and learning theories applicable to social studies education.
- Studies in Civic Education : Civic education is directly related to the maintenance and development of democratic society. This course aims to establish the theoretical foundations of civic education by examining its relationship with political education, law-related education (LRE), and multicultural education. Drawing on research into the history, meaning, institutions, and principles of democracy—as well as changes in the concept of citizenship—students will explore models of civic education appropriate for contemporary society. Special attention will be given to how social consciousness and social change interact in historical and social contexts to shape the concept of citizenship. Through this exploration, the course seeks to identify the direction of civic education in the modern era and to connect theory with practice by developing specific teaching and learning strategies.
