A strong foundation in Humanities and Social Sciences helps young learners to think critically, communicate effectively, make decisions and adapt to change. Making Humanities and Social Sciences Come Alive prepares pre-service educators to effectively teach and integrate the crucial learning area of HASS, incorporating the sub-strands of History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship, and Economics and Business. The second edition provides a comprehensive introduction to HASS education for both the early years and primary education. Closely aligned with the latest versions of the Australian Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework, the text delivers an in-depth understanding of the curriculum structure, pedagogical approaches to teaching HASS, inclusivity, global connections and the transition to practice. Wide-ranging updates include strengthened links to demonstrate the relevance of theory and research to classroom practice, and applications for integrating the Australian Curriculum's general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities.
