business, teaching, journalism or the civil
service including foreign affairs.

Tíreolaíocht
 In the Leaving Certificate geography
course you will study the same material as
in the Junior Certificate course in more
detail.
 San Ardteist, beidh tú ag déanamh
mionstaidéar ar na bun-ábhair céanna
is a rinne tú sa Teastas Sóiséarach.
 Geographical investigation (20%) consists
of a field trip and writing up an analysis of
all information collected
 Fiosrúchán tíreolaíochta: tá turas
allamuigh i gceist agus beidh ort
cuntas a scríobh ar an eolas ar fad
 Geography is concerned with the study of
people and their environment. It is useful for
careers such as: civil engineering,
architecture, meteorology, teaching or
working in the army cadet or as a pilot
 Is é atá i gceist le tíreolaíochta na staidéar
a dhéanamh ar dhaonra agus an
timpeallacht. Tá sé usáideach le haghaidh
gairmeacha beatha ar nós: innealtóireacht
shibhialta, ailtireacht, meitéareolaíocht,
múinteoireacht, ag obair mar dhalta airm
nó mar phiólóta
Eacnamaíocht Bhaile
 Soláthraíonn siollabas na hArdteistiméireachta san
Eacnamaíocht Bhaile an t-eolas, an tuiscint, na
scileanna agus na dearcaí chun a saolta féin a
bhainistiú agus chun iad a ullmhú don
bhreisoideachas nó don ardoideachas nó do shaol
na hoibre.
 Forbraíonn na héispéiris fhoghlama san
eacnamaíocht bhaile solúbacht agus
inoiriúnaitheacht sna daltaí, ullmhaítear iad don
tsochaí atá dírithe ar thomhaltas agus cuirtear bunús
foghlama ar fáil do réimse leathan gairmeacha
beatha i mbia, i dteicstílí, in eolaíocht, i ndearadh, sa
staidéar sóisialta agus i dturasóireacht.
Ábhar
 Croí - Ábhar
 Staidéar bia (Na cothaithigh,earraí bia,
tionscadal an bhia)
 Bainisteoireacht acmhainní agus staidéar
tomhaltóra (Bainisitiú ar Achmhainne,
teicneolaíocht an tí, tomhaltóirí)
 Staidéar sóisialta (An clann, pósadh)
 Ábhair Roghnacha
Tá trí ábhar roghnacha ann agus féadfar staidéar a
dhéanamh ar cheann amháin:
 Dearadh agus Riar Tí
 Teicstílí, faisean agus dearadh
 Staidéar sóisialta (Bochtanas, Dífhostaíocht,
Scíth a ligeant)
Measúnú
 Déantar Eacnamaíocht Bhaile - Eolaíoch
agus Sóisialta a mheas ag an nGnáthleibhéal
agus ag an Ardleibhéal mar seo a leanas:
 Scrúdú deiridh scríofa
 Measúnú ar na gnéithe praiticiúla den chlár, sé
sin staidéar bia ón gcroí-réimse agus an tábhar roghnach teicstílí, faisean agus dearadh
(mar is cuí).
 Scrúdpháipéar 80%
Croí - Ábhar 60%
Ábhair Roghnacha 20%
 Measúnú ar obair phraiticiúil an

 Gheobhaidh na daltaí 6 tascanna
cócaireachta agus tá oraibh taighde a
dhéanamh agus dialann a líon isteach
faoi na tascanna.
 Déanfaidh siad na tascanna sa rang.
