Senior Cycle - History
Senior Cycle History
The essential aims of History at Senior Cycle are to provide students with more challenging and rewarding experiences in which to develop their disciplinary literacy, i.e. primary and secondary source analysis to build up a picture of the past, the enhancement of conceptual understanding of bias, objectivity, reliability, criticism, judgement and argument. These experiences will enable students to interpret, evaluate and make balanced judgements in the world outside school which will empower students to become independent learners capable of success in a variety of contexts.
