"Teaching and Learning History" offers a fresh and distinctive view
on the teaching of history in schools at a time when the value of
learning about the past is often questioned. Drawing together ideas
from research, classroom practice and the voices of learners
themselves, it sets out an imaginative and wide-ranging rationale
for a view of history as an essential component in the learning of
all young people. The book is organized around four underlying
ideas: The place of history in the contemporary school curriculum
The importance of inclusive practices The nature of successful
history pedagogy The centrality of professionalism and innovation
These four ideas interlock throughout the book as the authors
review current practices, consider what history offers to all young
people and offer practical guidance on developing outstanding
practices for all learners.
Beginning with an account of what it means to teach and learn
history in schools, the authors go on to explore the main purposes
of teaching history in schools. The book offers rich guidance on
successful classroom practice, and sets classrooms in the wider
context of the curriculum in a rapidly changing and often deeply
divided society. Key features of the book include: Securely
grounded in real classrooms with examples in easy to use charts and
boxes Extensive examples from real learners This book is essential
reading for students training to teach history.
