World History

Curriculum Aims

Through understanding historical events, figures, and the development of civilizations, students will cultivate an interest in learning history.

 

The curriculum emphasizes the process of inquiry and knowledge construction. By employing diverse learning methods to inspire, examine, analyze, and reflect on historical materials, students will develop self-directed learning, analytical, and data interpretation skills. Adopting multi-dimensional perspectives, students will explore the relationship between historical evidence and the formation of historical interpretations, thereby constructing their own historical knowledge.

This strengthens their sense of mission and responsibility, helping them develop a proactive attitude toward life and pursue goals rooted in truth, goodness, and beauty.
