1 BELRIDGE SECONDARY COLLEGE YEAR 2 MODERN HISTORY 205 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 and through the process of historical inquiry they are encouraged to question, evaluate, identify and use evidence to formulate and communicate their own interpretations. The year 2 course consists of Stage 3 Units 3A/3B. UNIT 3A: Australia 920s to 950s The focus for this unit is cohesion and division. Students learn that there are internal and external forces that result in cohesion and/or division within Australian society and these have consequences for continuity and change. They assess how the structures of power and authority were used, how different groups and individuals responded and whether there was potential for greater cohesion or division. UNIT 3B: The Russian Revolution The focus for this unit is ideas that shaped history. The object of this unit is to explore the power of ideas and ideologies as forces for change and/or their use to reinforce dominant elements in society. Knowledge about the evolution and spread of significant ideas assists students in understanding the beliefs and values of a society or region and to what extent these ideas have been cohesive or divisive. They are also able to determine which ideas were dominant at a given time and how and why this dominance may have changed. ASSESSMENT: The four types of assessment in the table below are consistent with the teaching and learning strategies considered to be the most supportive of student achievement of the outcomes in the Modern History course. The table provides details of the assessment types, including examples of different ways that they can be applied and the weighting range for each assessment type. Weighting Stage 2 20% 20% 30% 30% Types of Assessment Historical inquiry Process of construction of an historical inquiry: framing or asking of a range of questions and/or constructing of a hypothesis; selection, collection and evaluation of a range of evidence that may include legal documents, oral, practical fieldwork and/or media material; critical analysis and interpretation of the evidence; and communicating in an oral or written form. Explanation Explanation in response to a proposition or point of debate that shows an understanding of the historical problem. The response may produce an argument, persuade others to a point of view, and recognise different perspectives. Examples: cognitive test, essay Document Study Historical documents are used to develop skills in history, to explore the nature and problems of historical evidence, the nature and authenticity of historical documents, their reliability, gaps and/or validity, and the range of perspectives about historical times. Examination The exam comprises a combination of the Explanation and Document study assessment types and assesses specific content, knowledge and skills described in the syllabus outline. Approximate Number of Assessments 2 2 Examinations There are separate examinations for 3AHIM and 3BHIM. Students will also sit an external examination, in addition to the assessments above, unless they are exempt. Assessments Submission dates will be negotiated but students are expected to adhere to the school s assessment policy.
