I AM IN LOVE WITH HISTORY By implementing newly acquired 21st century teaching approaches, students will appreciate and enjoy studying history
LONG TERM GOAL Apply 21st century teaching skills to enhance students’ curiosity and interest for history.
SHORT TERM GOALS • Read, make sense, and judge the status of various of sources of evidence from the past; • Corroborate that evidence by carefully comparing and contrasting it; • Construct context-specific, evidenced-based interpretations; • Assess an author's perspective or position in an account being studied; and • Make decisions about what is historically significant.
Development of Historical Thinking and Understanding Project Chata researchers have studied students' development. They observe that: • Students' ideas about explanation vary widely. • Students' ideas about causation in history and their rational explanations of causal structures do not necessarily develop in parallel. • Student's ideas about causal structures and explanations in history may develop at different intervals.
21st Century Approaches • Ways of thinking. Creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making and learning • Ways of working. Communication and collaboration • Tools for working. Information and communications technology (ICT) and information literacy • Skills for living in the world. Citizenship, life and career, and personal and social responsibility
“Learn about the critical skills students need to be successful in the digital age and beyond”
Instructional Accommodation • Buddy/peer tutoring • Partnering • Augmentative and alternative communication systems • Assistive technology such as PowerPoint and videos • Graphic organizers • Non-verbal skills • Mind maps • Concrete/hands on material • Dramatizing information The list goes on ……………………….
Pedagogical Implications • First, learners construct deeper historical understandings when they have opportunities to consciously use their prior knowledge and assumptions about the past. • Second, as learners explore the past, attention must be paid not only to the products of historical investigation, but to the investigative process itself. • Third, developing historical thinking and understanding necessitates opportunities for learners to work with various forms of evidence.
Applying Theory in the Classroom • Teachers would structure learning opportunities by posing compelling historical questions that have occupied the attention of historical inquirers (e.g., How did Roman communities construct oral cultures and to what effect?). • Students would adopt investigative roles, obtaining and scouring evidence (much of it obtained off the Internet from rich archival sources now online); • Reading, analyzing, and corroborating that evidence; addressing perspective in accounts; dealing with questions of agency and significance; and building their own interpretations of events as they addressed the questions posed.
