I
attended a meeting last week of the Delivery advisory Group for the new
Humanities and Social Sciences Diploma (to be taught from 2011).
The
DCSF are appealing for case studies on how humanities subjects are currently
being taught that can illustrate the following -
1.
GCSE or AS/A level project work
2.
How humanities can be taught as applied learning (there is a big debate about
what applied learning means - either academic knowledge/skills as applied in
the workplace or the application of humanities knowledge/skill sin real-world
situations)
3.
Employer-led practice in delivering humanities (perhaps good examples of work
placements)
4.
Good progressions routes for humanities at 18 - where can humanities people go
for careers or higher studies
5.
Collaboration in delivering humanities subjects between different
disciplines
This
could be a good chance for us to highlight examples involving out of classroom
learning. If anyone has examples they think might make good case studies,
please let me know and I can pass them on to the right people.
All
the best,
Don
