The AP World History course addresses habits of mind in two categories: (1) those addressed by any rigorous history course, and (2) those addressed by a world history course.
Four habits of mind are in the first category:
1. Constructing and evaluating arguments: using evidence to make plausible arguments
2. Using documents and other primary data: developing the skills necessary to analyze point of view and context, and to understand and interpret information
3. Assessing continuity and change over time and over different world regions
4. Understanding diversity of interpretations through analysis of context, point of view, and frame of reference
1. Seeing global patterns and processes over time and space while connecting local developments to global ones
2. Comparing within and among societies, including comparing societies' reactions to global processes
3. Considering human commonalities and differences
4. Exploring claims of universal standards in relation to culturally diverse ideas
5. Exploring the persistent relevance of world history to contemporary developments
