Modern History
Professional development
Term 4 2009 professional development events are available for this course here.
Implementation
2009 is the first year of implementation. The first WACE examinations for Modern History will be conducted in 2010.
Summary
Studying Modern History enables students to become critical thinkers and helps inform their judgements and actions in a rapidly changing world. Students are exposed to a variety of historical sources including artefacts, oral stories, film, diary extracts and other written accounts in order to determine the cause and effect, and the motives and forces influencing people and events. Through the process of historical inquiry, students are encouraged to question and evaluate historical sources; identify various representations and versions of history; use evidence to formulate and support their own interpretations; and communicate their findings in a variety of ways.
