Major on Integrated Social Studies

As it provides the students the theoretical, philosophical and empirical bases for the design, development and implementation of the Social Studies Curriculum, students of this course will be pro-learner.
Social Sciences, A Partner of the Physical Sciences
The social sciences changed forever the way people organized their family lives and leisure. No doubt the hardcore physical sciences such as nanotechnology and advances in medical research have a significant impact on the way we live, too.
But they certainly present us with a bewildering range of ethical, legal and social issues. It isn’t enough to rely on the scientists. We also need social scientists to analyze and critique what’s going on. That way we will make informed choices that shape the future.
A whole website is dedicated on the campaign for Social Science in the United Kingdom. It promotes that social science as a relatively young field of study, having only developed during the nineteenth century, has achieved much in humanizing the hard physical sciences.
That is just one aspect. A more important one is this: Social science can improve our children’s lives and education. For far too often education reform seems to take place without regard for the best interests of the learners.
By working with students of all ages to understand their perspectives on schooling, researchers at SPUQC have discovered new insights into what makes effective schools, and what makes for effective school leadership.
We just need to listen to children, provide structured opportunities for them to give their views, and prepare adults to really listen.
Major on Inclusive and Special Needs Education
Philosophies, inclusive education, learning characteristics and the biological, linguistic, cognitive, social and emotional dimensions of development of students with special education needs will be
tackled extensively in this program.
There will be instructional adaptations for teaching the content areas and teaching in multigrade classes.
