Designed to enhance students' appreciation of the diversity of First Nations perspectives in the province, B.C. First Nations Studies 12 explores First Nations individuals and cultures in contemporary and historical contexts.
The course is aligned with the learning outcomes included in the 2006 BC First Nations Studies Integrated Resource Package, and also addresses the most recent provincial exam specifications. Each of the four modules of B.C. First Nations Studies 12 has two tests available that are similar in format to the Provincial Examination. The modules address four broad themes:
Module 1: Perspective and Place
Module 2: Contact, Resistance and Leadership
Module 3: Creativity and Culture
Module 4: Contemporary Issues
The course is available in both online and print-based formats, that uses the Ministry of Education's B.C. First Nations Studies textbook (from Pacific Educational Press, UBC ISBN-10: 0-7726-4882-4 or ISBN-13:978-0-7726-4882-2 or free downloadable e-Book through the Features page below).
Maintaining a modular, learner-centred structure, this course uses multiple resources for students to learn about B.C. First Nations. Online students have access to interactive multimedia components that help explain key concepts. Print-based students may also access these resources using B.C. First Nations Studies: Perspectives CD-ROM. The B.C. First Nations Studies 12 course website provides numerous supplementary resources available online.
