| Summary, etc. |
This two part monograph examine two aspects of social studies education in the Caribbean instruction and assessment. In the first part it identifies challenges perceived by Eastern Caribbean student teachers in the teaching of Social Studies in Primary Schools. It uses descriptive analytical research to provide some insight into the problems perceived by teachers and how they work these problems. Lack of adequate resources, lack of variety in the use of teaching skills and lack of administrative support emerge as the major problems perceived by the teacher. Teachers in Eastern Caribbean Schools also do not seem to perceive any relationship between their own attitude or teaching skills and students attitude to the subject. The second part uses a content approach to identify the major objectives being tested in the CXC Social Studies exams at the secondary level. Among the major findings is a rather heavy emphasis on knowledge-recall questions and low-level cognitive objectives with only superficial attention being paid to testing for values and higher order thinking. It is suggested that a properly structured normative evaluation components to the examination may provide and ideal mechanism for texting effective objectives, decision making and other critical social studies process. |
