The thesis aims at evaluating the questions of social books of intermediate stage according to WEEB’s depth of knowledge, and to assess the activities of social books for the intermediate stage according to WEEB’s classification of depth of knowledge.
The discussion shows the presence of varying levels of depth of knowledge in social studies books of intermediate stage in varying proportions – the weak level of strategic thinking and extended thinking in the social books of the middle stage – the imbalance of the chapters of social studies books in presentation of the scientific material.
