For pre-service teachers in primary, middle and secondary school sectors, for in-service teachers and for tertiary educators

Place and Time: Teaching History, Geography and Social Sciences is a guide for pre-service-year students, an aid for tertiary educators and a summary of current research for practicing teachers.

The book's structure is based on a series of major investigative themes divided into detailed chapters, which are intended to provide an informed response to the investigative questions. These themes reflect the major questions that knowledgeable educators who work in the fields of humanities and social sciences education constantly pose of themselves and of their students and teacher colleagues. In general, the chapters feature an introduction outlining the major issues for that topic, questions and thinking points to aid readers' progressive reflections, and a series of summary questions to assist readers in reviewing their understanding.
