Debates about the identity of school history and about the nature
and purpose of the learning that does, can and should take place in
history classrooms continue in many countries around the world. At
issue, in many of these debates, beyond the concerns about history
and national identity, are often unaddressed questions about the
role and inter-relationship of historical knowledge and historical
understanding in historical learning. Research on historical
thinking is on-going and a complex tradition of enquiry has
developed across national borders in the last 30 years, focusing,
in particular on developing students understanding of historical
meta-concepts such as `evidence' and `causation'. There has been
comparatively little focus, however, on the historical content that
students study, on how they study it and on how mastery of
historical content contributes to students overall picture of a
historical past. This volume gathers together recent research and
theorising from around the world on key issues central to
historical learning and instruction. What sense do students make of
the history that they are taught? Are students able to organise
historical knowledge in order to form large scale representations
of the past and what difficulties can children face in doing so?
What are the relationships that obtain between history as an
academic discipline, as practised in universities, and history as a
subject taught in schools? What can research tell us about the
effects of instructional strategies that aim to help students `join
up' what they learn in class into meaningful historical knowledge
and understanding?
