Third- and fourth-year elementary school pupils are expected to master some 30 defined skills in social studies, including the abilities to "describe the lifestyles of people in different regions," "survey the distribution of and changes in the population of their home area," and "recognize that the formation of a settlement is a response to the human need for communal living."
至於小學三、四年級的孩子，需具備的社會領域能力，則包括「描述不同地區居民的生活方式」、「調查家鄉人口的分佈與變遷」、「覺察聚落的形成在於符應人類聚居生活的需求」等大約三十個項目。
