Hello! I am currently working on a research on how social studies particularly history could be taught more effectively. Obviously the subject is faced with two serious issues-- that of the overwhelming or seemingly unending coverage and the other of the strategies to employ to make it really relevant . there has been much literature on this but i would like to know your own impressions and insights. please feel free to comment on/answer any of the questions below:
1.If there is one word to describe history as a subject, what would that be? why?
2. Do you think that the lessons you've learned in this subject are really useful? why?
3. What can u say about the strategies being employed by your teachers? Would you say they were effective? if not, what strategies could you suggest?
4. In ur own opinion, do we really need to study history? why?
Thank you so much and I gladly appreciate the time you've spared answering the above questions.
