Historical Investigation<br />
Humanities Experientia<br />
Learning <strong>2018</strong><br />
The humanities are learnt through a wide<br />
range of skills. It remains a challenge,<br />
though, for our students to demonstrate<br />
those skills beyond the subjects.<br />
Humanities education through experiential<br />
learning provides important opportunities for<br />
students and enhances their development as<br />
independent individuals who make their own<br />
decisions. The benefits that such learning can<br />
provide are evident through the historical (HI)<br />
and geographical investigation (GI) programme<br />
for our students. The skills the students draw<br />
upon to complete these projects include<br />
research, critical thinking, collaboration, editing,<br />
writing, data and source analysis, presentation,<br />
and time management. In other words, this<br />
programme that runs through a course of 4<br />
years for Geography and 2 years for History help<br />
students to hone and demonstrate these core<br />
skills in a practical and authentic setting.<br />
