The Learning of History, Paperback / softback Book

The Learning of History Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Historiography series

Paperback / softback

Description

Originally published in 1972, this book is a systematic analysis of the objectives and methods of history teaching.

The book considers the criticisms of the 1960s and 70s of history as a subject and the pressures for its replacement in the school curriculum.

It examines the complex psychological background of learning history and suggests that historical understanding makes an important contribution to cognitive growth.

It also stresses the important part played by historical material in the emotional and imaginative life of the child.

Concluding with a discussion of practical classroom methods, the author proposes objectives and characteristic concepts of the subject which may be embodied in all levels of teaching.
