Geography-Economics-Social Studies

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The subject association Geography-Economy-Community Studies (GWG) was introduced for the Baden-Württemberg high schools through the educational standards of 2004. It includes the subjects geography and social studies , which are each connected with economics, as well as economics (4 hours) , which can be selected in the course level .

The concept of the "subject group"

The aim of introducing the subject network was to provide a stronger transfer of economic education and skills, as required, for example, by employers and trade unions in a joint memorandum from 2000. For this reason, separate educational standards for business were defined in the educational plan reform. However, no separate subject was created for this, but these educational standards are implemented in grades 5–7 within the framework of geography lessons, in grades 8–10 they are mainly implemented within the framework of community studies. H. Geography or social studies is the main subject in the respective class levels for imparting economic education and skills.

Furthermore, the educational standards provide for integrative modules for subject-related teaching of the subjects involved.

For the subject group, a total of 14 hours per week are planned within the framework of the quota lesson table from grades 5 to 10, whereby the schools have a certain amount of leeway in the division.

Social science subject groups with economic shares in other types of schools

At secondary schools in Baden-Württemberg there is the subject association Geography, Economics and Community Studies (EWG).
