One popular image of the interwar years portrays the period as a
time of depression, deprivation and decay. However, much recent
work has tended to take, on balance, a more optimistic view of
social conditions. In this pamphlet Dr Constantine examines the
basis for such conclusions by reviewing the changing employment
porspects for manual and non-manual workers, levels of family
expenditure on food, consumer goods and leisure activities, the
extent and causes of poverty, the quality of interwar housing and
the records of the nation's health. The effects on living standards
of demographic change, economic growth, wage levels and government
policies are considered. The period is seen as a time of
transition, witnessing significant shifts away from older patterns
of employment and social conditions towards those characteristic of
an affulent mass consumer society. However, there were casualties
from this process of accelerated change, and class and regional
inequalities remained.
MasterClass in History Education draws on international research
and practice to present effective and engaging approaches for
history teachers who want to explore the ways in which reading,
research and reflection can support the development of history
teaching and learning in the classroom. At the heart of the book is
a series of professional enquiries carried out by experienced
history teachers, working in a range of contexts. Each history
teacher addresses clear questions arising from their practice and
together they illustrate various approaches to data collection,
data analysis and argument. These history teachers also show how
they drew on diverse scholarship in history and history education,
including many publications by other history teachers. In eight
further chapters, other experts, ranging from practitioner-scholars
to researchers in diverse fields (such as history, history
education, teacher education, teacher research and curriculum
theory) reflect on the distinctive insights that these teachers
offer and explore connections with their own fields. The
combination of perspectives and the depth of knowledge of the
varied contributors reveal the importance of different kinds of
relationship between 'theory' and 'practice'. The links between
classroom realities and research and the critical use of different
kinds of text will support history teachers in developing their
practice and professional voice.
