Discussion
Within the Stage 6 Modern History Syllabus, students are enveloped within an investigation of “forces that have shaped the world, based on the
analysis and interpretation of sources” (NESA, 2017, p. 9). Within this, it is paramount students explore significant events within modern history
that have notably altered how the world, events and individuals are interpreted. Further than merely appreciating and analysing events, it is
critical for students to critically analyse the motivations and actions of individuals in the transformation of societies construction of modern
histories. Within this syllabus, students are equipped with essential competence of “knowledge, understanding and skills to help them examine
and make sense of the world around them” (NESA, 2017, p. 9). As such, with this intent behind the syllabus, this unit of work was designed to
address and develop this appreciation of modern history, whilst simultaneously stimulating students engagement, curiosity and imagination in an
accessible manner.
Within this unit of work, the students are encouraged to “understand and use historical concepts and apply skills in their investigation of people,
ideas, movements, events and developments of the modern world within personal, local, national, regional and global contexts” (NESA, 2017,
p. 9). This notion is fundamental to introducing students to the Holocaust through an investigation of the construction of modern histories,
particularly with methods and issues associated with constructing accounts about the past (NESA, 2017, p. 28). Students analyse complexities
within the modern historical representations, evident through opportunities for students to pose questions and consider issues within evidence
through contestability tasks and debates permeated through the unit. These opportunities are integrated in regard to historical construction,
42
18025558
evidence and arguments to enable students to investigate contemporary methods and issues involved in the investigation of modern history and
evaluate differing interpretations and representations of the past. Furthermore, students are encouraged to utilise critical literacy throughout the
unit, notably in regard to consistent discussion to debate interpretation and perspectives, contestability tasks for students to develop reason and
evidence based arguments, as well as analysing, weighing and synthesising evidence from a variety of sources from primary source extracts to
develop historical inquiry. Furthermore, the unit is designed to allow students to develop “increasingly sophisticated historiographical skills and
historical understanding” through a close study of historians and individuals such as David Irving within this unit, toward broader developments
such as Holocaust denial and revisionism that have shaped the modern world (NESA, 2017, p. 9). These tasks enable a critical approach to
understanding events, issues and constructions of history and the world, which stand fundamental in developing active and informed citizens
within students.
This unit outline is gauged toward facilitating learning needs within senior students, informed by pedagogical theories that enable motivation and
engagement. Within this, the pedagogical approach of Visible Learning, substantiated by John Hattie (2012) is permeated weekly throughout the
unit through the integration of a historical inquiry question. This approach addresses engagement and motivation for students of a senior level,
“making teaching visible to the student so that students learn to become their own teachers”, subsequently facilitating a level of accountability
and responsibility at a senior level (Hattie, 2012, p. 1). Furthermore, as the lesson intention is explicit to the student, it enables a guidance on
behalf of the teacher, “making student learning visible to teachers so they can know whether they are having an impact on this learning”
43
18025558
subsequently encouraging an implicit alliance between the student and teacher to address content. Furthermore, collaborative and co-operative
learning are two prominent pedagogical methods utilised throughout the unit as a means of maximising learning experience for students at a
senior level. These methods require students to depend on a differing party as a means of achieving a common goal, providing a level of
accountability and motivation to each student. These approaches manifest in the Think, Pair, Share, group research, class discussion and class
debate activities, of which leads students to “help and support each other’s learning … motivating them to prove information, prompts,
reminders and encouragement” to each other (Gillies and Boyle, 2010, p. 933). As such, these methods promote critical thinking and develop
articulate communication between students, addressing learning needs of motivation and engagement within senior students. Furthermore, the
acknowledgement of “different developmental trajectories within intelligence and different core processing operations” is fundamental to
differentiation for seniors within this unit, underpinned by Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory (Noble, 2004, p. 194). The collaborative learning
methods within the unit address these differing developmental trajectories, through a necessitated unity between students in working together to
complete a task or create a product. Furthermore, Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development theory underpins the differentiation within the
unit, with scaffolding utilised within research tasks and graphic organisers to provide assisted instruction.
Furthermore, the explicit integration of ICT within the unit enables motivation and engagement within students through enhancing modern
learning and enabling research-based enquiry learning. Throughout the unit, technology pervades students work from classwork to formative
assessment through online e-learning platforms such as Google Classroom and online website research. The use of ICT within the unit is
44
18025558
essential for the enrichment of senior learning as it enables the “learner [to] play an active role and also emphasizes self-directed, independent,
flexible and interactive learning” (Talebiana, Mohammadia & Rezvanfara, 2014, p. 304). Formative assessment is centralised around motivation
and engagement for senior students to promote high performance, whilst simultaneously recognising areas of progress and weakness.
Recognition of these areas is essential for senior students to develop an awareness of any breaks that exist between their anticipated goal and
their current knowledge to progress a higher level of critical and intellectual analysis. Furthermore, relevance to outcomes is fundamental within
the unit for senior students to promote an “understanding of the nature of modern history through an investigation of relevant methods and
As such, this design of this unit encourages students to develop their knowledge and understanding of historical construction at a senior level,
and to mature their “skills of critical analysis and values and attitudes essential for an appreciation of the people, forces and ideas that have
shaped the modern world” (NESA, 2017, p. 11). Within this, the unit enables students to appreciate the nature of modern history through
effectively analysing and interpreting differing sources for evidence to support historical accounts, evaluating interpretations of the past, and
critiquing contemporary methods involved in the investigation of modern history. In developing a sophisticated historical approach through a
