Appendix – ExplanationsSOC 0-01a to SOC 4-01aThis set of experiences and outcomes provides progression in the evaluation of sources and other historicalevidences and can be used in conjunction with other outcomes within People, past events and societies.SOC 4-05cA meeting of cultures may result from, for example, conflict, conquest, exploration or discovery, the expansion ofpower or migration.SOC 2-06aChronology skills are developed progressively in a variety of contexts. The main stages of progression within theseskills would be: sequencing evidence; creating sequences and timelines; locating events in sequence and time;representing situations before and after. Throughout this process, learners will develop their understanding of thechronology of key events studied in Scottish, British, European and world history.SOC 3-07a, SOC 4-07aIn these outcomes children and young people will discover the impact forces such as ice, rivers, wind, coasts andtectonics have on the landscape and develop an understanding of the interaction between these forces.Consideration of, for example, aspects of geological time, geology and atmosphere may help to clarify thisrelationship.SOC 4-11cChildren and young people will build on their previous knowledge of different population structures throughexploring aspects such as demographics, migration and the effects of population growth.SOC 1-14a to SOC 4-14aMapping skills are developed progressively using maps in a variety of contexts. The main stages of progressionwithin these skills would be: using and making simple maps; using and interpreting maps; using thematic maps andmapping conventions; using map information to support conclusions. Throughout this process, learners will developtheir own mental map to be able to recognise and locate a range of key features at the local, national and globallevels.SOC 0-15a to SOC 4-15aThis set of experiences and outcomes provides a basis for progression in evaluation of evidence in the context ofcurrent social, political and economic issues and can be used in conjunction with other outcomes within People insociety, economy and business.SOC 4-17cCapitalism, communism and fascism are examples of contrasting ideologies which have had a global impact andshaped the societies influenced by them in significantly different ways. Within this outcome, learners may alsoexplore contrasting belief systems.SOC 4-21bIn this outcome, learners might consider the importance and function of financial information and documents suchas ledger accounts, revenue and cash flow statements, balance sheets and break even analysis.Social studies: experiences and outcomes18
