South Sudan history curriculum approach
I
Think South Sudan History curriculum should include the important incidents and
movements, past, struggle, Independent, though it would be very complicated for
them, but it’s the essential part of South Sudan History. And it should be
designed in a way that students will be able to know about their Identity and cultural
diversity that will make them to explore themselves in a good way and to get
the knowledge of the way they should think about themselves and others from
different prospectives. We can also address other issues like multi
disciplinary to teach students about sport, music, geographical, literature or
Art history to be part of the history studies such
that it enables them to make meaningful connections between these various
disciplines and to understand them within their historical context and this
could be an interesting part. This because of the stress of the conflicts that
have been recurring in the country and to focus positive ideologies rather than
negatives to raise their enthusiasm.
Wow! this idea is big I like it. Normally, knowing who you are and acknowledging the fact that difference exist, gives birth to peace and unity. I believe that through multidisciplinary, the attitudes of students are shaped adding to the new skills taught in many fields for the betterment of the bigger community.
ReplyDeleteThose are Great ideas.it's vital to include the aspect of Identity,cultural diversity and multi disciplinary. I think that will surely be an interesting History curriculum and a big challenge to the current history which concentrates on politics and conflict.Viola, Don't you think it's important to include some aspects of revolutionary uprisings in South Sudan's curriculum?
ReplyDeleteVery well stated and I enjoy the discussion that has occurred. It is important to acknowledge differences and embrace our uniqueness as well! I think it will be difficult to navigate teaching the conflict, but likely not something you can overlook especially since many students will still feel the effects of the conflict in their lives. Finding the right way to do this will be a challenge. Many of your classmates bring up the point about being afraid to increasing distrust or possibly creating a feeling for the need for revenge if the conflicts are taught about? How might you calm these colleagues fears regarding this?
ReplyDeleteI also very much appreciate your discussion of connecting the history content to other studies or external experiences. All very powerful!
