MASTERING PRIMARY SOCIAL STUDIES is the book that has specifically been prepared for Standard V, VI and VII pupils, and for their teachers. Furthermore, this book is suitable for those parents and guardians who have developed a habit of following up on the progress of their children and helping them academically.
MASTERING PRIMARY SOCIAL STUDIES, like all other books in this series, has been prepared based on the current syllabus for primary school Social Studies in Tanzania. It has been expertly prepared so as to help both teachers and pupils in primary schools, who have for quite some time, been experiencing difficulties in finding handy resources for this subject. It follows on the footsteps of the success of other highly acclaimed titles by the same author.
This book has plenty of exercises which have been composed based on each topic with the sole intention of giving teachers and pupils an unparalled choice for each topic. We have also included a compilation of several sample examination papers so as to not only acclimatize the pupils to all types of examinations but also to the variety of ways the questions are asked.
This book, MASTERING PRIMARY SOCIAL STUDIES, which is a must-have one for every pupil and every teacher, will:
⦁ enable the pupil to solve the various Social Studies test papers and examinations very efficiently and ultimately be able to pass the final Standard VII examination with flying colours.
⦁ enable the teacher to teach Social Studies more efficiently and comfortably.
⦁ enable both the teachers and pupils to save on the time which would had otherwise been spent in reading various books for lesson planning or learning purposes.
⦁ prompt the pupils to carry this book to their respective secondary schools where it will be equally
useful.
In the course of preparing this book, the author has worked together with distinguished Social Studies experts who have successfully taught its underlying subjects in various schools. Likewise, on different occasions, these experts have taken part in a number of courses and seminars on the best approaches to teaching the subject including on evaluation in relation to development and challenges ofteaching this many-in-one subject.
These experts have also been training Social Studies teachers at cluster and district levels in different districts in the country. Furthermore, between them, they have participated in the workshops on the primary school syllabus changes in 1996,2000, 2005 and 2016.
Apart from being facilitators of Social Studies teachers at both cluster and district levels, our experts have also been involved in preparations of various Standard VII examinations.
MASTERING PRIMARY SOCIAL STUDIES is the solution emanating from that experience.
