Chapter Content

In the IB MYP framework, the Individuals & Societies subject encourages students to explore the interconnectedness of human societies across time and space. The History strand particularly fosters critical thinking, source analysis, and a sense of historical context. However, history is not studied in isolation. This chapter explores how history integrates seamlessly with other subjects—like geography, economics, civics, and the natural and applied sciences—enhancing students’ understanding of the past and its relevance to the present and future.

Detailed Explanation

This chunk introduces the concept that in the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), the study of history is connected to various other subjects. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how different disciplines interact with historical events. By exploring history alongside subjects like geography and economics, students can develop critical thinking skills and a deeper insight into how past events shape present and future societies.
