Education, Geography And Religious Education - 2696 Words

Within the relation to teaching and learning in a Primary School, Grigg and Hughes (2014) argue that there has been a continual focus around the Humanities subjects (History, Geography and Religious Education). Further suggesting when the subjects are well planned and instructed, they can teach children about the wider world promoting their ‘spiritual, moral, social and cultural development’. On the other hand, according to Ofsted (2011), there has been a reduced amount of allocated time for the subjects, which has been evident throughout my experience as a Humanities specialist. I have found that although the three subjects develop alongside each other, playing an important role in the overall curriculum for primary schools, they do not take as much precedence as the core subjects. According to Erickson (2012), teaching through concepts helps children to gain a deeper understanding of the subject being taught with a higher order of thinking skills. Alongside this, Erickson (2007) expressed that children gain understanding through the experiences the gain, having relevant knowledge taught enabling children to actively respond to their learning. This is due to concepts providing children with knowledge and skills of the society we live in today. The work of Erricker (2010) supported concept†led enquiry and broke down the Religious Education (RE) key concepts into three categories; type A, B and C. Type A are the concepts people will experience at some point in their lifeShow MoreRelatedThe Education System in Saudi Arabi1093 Words   |  5 PagesThe education system in Saudi Arabia Education in Saudi Arabia is segregated by sex and divided into three separately administered systems: general education for boys, education for girls and traditional Islamic education (for boys).
