Big Ideas/Hass Concepts


Civics & Citizenship
Rights and responsibilities:
The concept of rights and responsibilities is about particular rights and freedoms an
individual has within Australian society as well as the obligations of citizens,
especially within the political and legal system. An understanding of the concept of
rights and responsibilities is developed in the following ways: the various ways
rights are protected in Australia citizenship within Australia the obligations of the
individual within Australian society, including the political and legal system
Australia as an international citizen.

History
Source
The concept of source refers to any written or nonwritten materials that can be
used to investigate and provide information about the past (e.g. coins, photographs,
letters, interviews, gravestones, buildings). Primary sources are those created or
written during the time being investigated. Secondary sources are accounts that are
developed after the time period being studied.

Evidence
The concept of evidence is about the information obtained from sources that is
valuable for a particular inquiry. Evidence can be used to help construct a historical
narrative, to support a hypothesis or to prove or disprove a conclusion. Sources
become evidence when they are used to support or dispel a claim.

Cause and Effect


The concept of cause and effect is used to examine the relationship between
historical events or actions, where one event or action occurs as a result of the

other. Historians use cause and effect to identify chains of events and developments
over the short term and long term.

Perspective
The concept of perspective is a persons point of view, the position from which they
see and understand events going on around them. People in the past may have had
different points of view about a particular event, depending on their age, gender,
social position and their beliefs and values. Historians also have perspectives and
this can influence their interpretation of the past.

Empathy
The concept of empathy is an understanding of the past from the point of view of a
particular individual or group, including an appreciation of the circumstances they
faced, and the motivations, values and attitudes behind their actions

Geography
Place
The concept of place is about the significance of places and what they are like. They
range in size from a part of a room or garden to a major world region.

Change
The concept of change is about explaining geographical phenomena by
investigating how they have developed over time.

Achievement Standards
At Standard, students develop questions for a specific purpose. They locate and
collect relevant information and/or data from primary and/or secondary sources,
using appropriate methods to organise and record information. Students
apply ethical protocols when collecting information. They use criteria to determine
the relevance of information and/or data. Students interpret information
and/or data, sequence information about events, identify different perspectives, and
describe cause and effect. They use a variety of appropriate formats to translate
collected information and draw conclusions from evidence in information
and/or data. Students engage in a range of processes when making decisions in
drawing conclusions. They consider audience and purpose when selecting

appropriate communication forms. Students develop a variety of texts that


incorporate source materials, using some subject-specific terminology and
concepts. They reflect on findings to refine their learning.
Students recognise that Australias democracy is based on the Westminster system,
and describe the roles and responsibilities of each level of government and how
laws are made. They identify the democratic values associated with
Australian citizenship and describe the rights of being an Australian citizen.
Students identify the imbalance between needs and wants, and describe how the
allocation of resources involves trade-offs. They identify the advantages and
disadvantages of specialisation in terms of the different ways businesses organise
the provision of goods and services. Students identify the factors that
influence consumer decisions when making choices, and the consequences of those
choices for businesses and the consumer.
Students identify the location of Asia and its major countries, in relation to Australia.
They recognise the geographical and cultural diversity of places, by describing the
physical and human characteristics of specific places, at the local to global scale.
Students identify that people, places and environments are interconnected and
describe how these interconnections lead to change.
Students explain the significance of an individual, group or event on the Federation
of Australia, and identify ideas and/or influences of other systems on
the development of Australia as a nation. They describe continuity and change in
relation to Australias democracy and citizenship. Students compare experiences of
migration and describe the cause and effect of change on society.
