Teaching Values and Citizenship in Social Studies

The objectives of these two courses are to highlight the importance of distinguishing between ethics, values, culture, citizenship, and social responsibility. Educators will be introduced to best practices on how to engage students in controversial issues related to ethics, values, citizenship, and social responsibility. They will learn how to teach these concepts explicitly and implicitly through various teaching methods and strategies used in the classroom. Additionally, the courses emphasize how to incorporate values into the curriculum outlined by the Ministry of Education and how to highlight and emphasize them as qualities of good citizenship across all social studies subjects. Moreover, the courses emphasize the educator's role as a role model and how their actions and behavioral characteristics impact students of varying ages. Developing a comprehensive approach to involving students in positive global values is a key goal, contributing to individuals' families, communities, nations, and the world .
