This is a thorough exploration of the issues in teaching
controversial issues in classroom, drawing on international case
studies sharing teachers' and pupils' experiences. Paula Cowan and
Henry Maitles provide a thorough exploration of current debates and
controversies relating to teaching controversial issues in primary
and secondary schools. They also investigate the changing nature of
this type of learning experience and explore its contribution to
the curriculum, particularly history and citizenship education.
Topics covered include: What is the 'right' age to discuss
controversial issues; The Citizenship Agenda; Discussing Iraq with
school students; Teaching the Holocaust in the multicultural
classroom; and, Islamophobia. International case studies provide
fresh insights and valuable student and teacher feedback into the
teaching of what many perceive as sensitive and difficult areas.
Reflective questions and activities encourage readers to really
engage with the issues and annotated further reading suggestions
provide links to useful resources. The supporting companion website
provides more detailed additional information along with practical
teaching resources for those looking to explore controversial
issues in their own classroom. This title is an essential reading
for beginning teachers and teachers of citizenship and history, and
education studies students exploring the teaching of controversial
issues in the classroom.
This collection is the first of its kind, bringing together
Holocaust educational researchers as well as school and museum
educators from across the globe, to discuss the potentials of
Holocaust education in relation to primary school children. Its
contributors are from countries that have a unique relationship
with the Holocaust, such as Germany, Israel, neutral Switzerland,
and Allied countries outside the UK. Their research provides new
insight into the diverse ways in which primary aged students engage
with Holocaust education. Chapters explore the impact of teaching
the Holocaust to this age group, school and museum teaching
pedagogies, and primary students' perspectives of the Holocaust.
This book will appeal to school and museum educators of primary
aged students whose work requires them to teach the Holocaust,
Citizenship (or Civics) or Human Rights Education. Since the turn
of the twenty-first century there has been a transformation in
school and museum-based Holocaust education. This book clearly
demonstrates that primary education has been included in this
transformation.
