Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will explain modernization theory and identify the two historical events it credits for Western Europe's faster development.
Students will describe Wallerstein's core, periphery, and semi-periphery model of the global economy.
Students will evaluate criticisms of both modernization theory and dependency theory.
Teaching tips
Have students watch the linked video first and pause to answer each question as its topic comes up, since the questions follow the video in order.
Use the answers document to run a whole-class discussion comparing student responses against the model answers.
Assign it as homework or independent classwork, since each question includes space for a written response and needs only the video link to complete.
Skills covered
Video-based comprehension — students extract specific facts and explanations from an assigned video, answering 15 short-answer questions in order.
Comparative analysis of sociological theories — students distinguish the claims and criticisms of modernization theory versus dependency theory.
Applying a conceptual model — students use Wallerstein's core/periphery/semi-periphery framework to categorize countries by economic role.
