History Education Research Journal publishes first article in new special series on history education in historical perspective
Posted on 20th November, 2024
We are excited to share the news of the launch and publication of a new special series in History Education Research Journal about ‘History Education in Historical Perspective’.
Edited by Dr Tyson Retz (University of Stavanger, Norway) and Prof Terry Haydn (University of East Anglia, UK), this open access special series brings together a collection of high-quality articles that explore different national contexts of theory and practice, the different intellectual traditions of educational thought that have made an impact across national borders and papers that consider what, in the history of history education, remains a potentially valuable source of new insight. The intent is to provide new historical insights on these topics and to characterise the implications of this research. Contributors of the papers in this series bring their histories to bear on discussion of the current and future directions of historical teaching and learning.
The first article published in the series is Historical narratives: how Portuguese students aged 10 and 15 make use of national history by Ana Isabel Moreira (University of Porto, Porto, Portugal) and Isabel Barca (University of Porto, Porto, Portugal). Accompanying the article is the blog post ‘Do they know national history’ in which the authors discuss their paper and explore historical narratives in history education.
More articles will publish in this special feature over time. . Read the special feature free.
