This chapter highlights the main characteristics of the humanities, or school subjects having a humanistic orientation, from the point of view of geography, history and social studies in comprehensive schools. The educational objectives for these three subjects in the present National Core Curriculum for Basic Education are focused on the development of students’ thinking skills and understanding of the nature of historical, societal or geographical knowledge, and skills of using, for example, historical sources. This emphasis on learning, thinking, and skills implies that activating teaching methods are used in lessons, and the assessment of learning outcomes is expected to follow the skills-based strand of humanities education. Future challenges are also in focus, for example, intercultural education, which is becoming more and more crucial to history, social science and geography.
