<p><b>A rethinking of teaching methodology in history classrooms</b><br/>As issues of history and memory collide in our society and in the classroom, the time is ripe to rethink the place of history in our schools. <b>Knowing, Teaching, and Learning History</b> represents a unique effort by an international group of scholars to understand the future of teaching and learning about the past. It will challenge the ways in which historians, teachers, and students think about teaching history.<br/> The book concerns itself first and foremost with the question, "How do students develop sophisticated historical understandings and how can teachers best encourage this process?" Recent developments in psychology, education, and historiography inform the debates that take place within <b>Knowing, Teaching, and Learning History</b>. This four-part volume identifies the current issues and problems in history education, then works towards a deep and considered understanding of this evolving field.
