The study of history is an
inquiry into past human experience that helps make the present more
intelligible.The
study of Modern History Stage 6 has a distinctive role in the school
curriculum as it challenges students to consider the great social,
technological, economic, political and moral transformations from
the late eighteenth century to the present. It requires students to
analyse the causes, progress and effects of these transformations
and, finally, to make judgements about them. Modern History Stage 6
is especially relevant to the lives of students, as the events and
issues that form its content are, in many cases, still current.
The study of Modern History Stage
6 also contributes to the development of skills that are of great
importance in today’s workforce. The fluent communication of
thoughts and ideas gleaned from the critical analysis of primary and
secondary sources is a sought after skill. The ability to
deconstruct texts and narratives, pose intelligent questions, test
hypotheses and make critical use of information technologies is
essential to living and working in the twenty-first century
