| Learning outcomes (LOs) |
| LO 1 |
| Historical investigation The learner is able to use research skills to investigate both the present and the past. |
| Assessment standards (ASs) |
| We know this when the learner: |
| 1.1 investigates a topic by asking key questions and identifies a variety of relevant sources to explore this topic [finding sources]; |
| 1.2 asks significant questions to evaluate the sources (e.g. to identify bias and stereotypes, omissions and gaps) [working with to sources]; |
| 1.3 analyses the information in sources [working with sources]; |
| 1.4 presents an independent line of argument in answering questions posed, and justifies (using evidence) the conclusions reached [answering the question]; |
| 1.5 communicates knowledge and understanding by constructing own interpretation and argument based on the historical sources; uses information technology where available and appropriate [communicating the answer]. |
| LO 2 |
| Knowledge and Understanding of History The learner is able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of history. |
| We know this when the learner: |
| 2.1 places events, people and changes in the periods of history studied within chronological framework [chronology and time]; |
| 2.2 identifies categories of cause and effect (e.g. immediate and long-term, direct and indirect) [cause and effect]; |
| 2.3 explains and analyses the reasons for and results of events in history [cause and effect]; |
| 2.4 recognises that change and development does not always mean progress [change and continuity]. |
| LO 3 |
| Interpretation of History The learner is able to interpret aspects of history. |
| We know this when the learner: |
| 3.1 understands the contested nature of content, and that historians construct histories when writing about events from the past [source interpretation]; |
| 3.2 constructs an interpretation based on sources, giving reasons for own interpretation [source interpretation]; |
| 3.3 analyses issues which influence the way history has been written [influences on interpretation]; |
| 3.4 explains the ways in which symbols are used to remember events and people from the past, and how oral histories can contribute to our understanding of the symbols [representation of the past]. |
