Heroes and villains: an analysis of the treatment of individuals in world history textbooksLandis, Geraldine 06 June 2008 (has links)
Since textbooks are a standard feature of social studies classrooms and frequently are considered the central tools of social studies instruction, their content and manner of presentation are critical issues for the social studies. This study concentrated on identification and analysis of the individual people appearing by name in selected secondary world history textbooks. The written words and illustrations of twelve secondary world history textbooks were analyzed for their selection of, and the way in which they portray, individual men and women of world history. Content of the textbooks was analyzed to determine which people are included, which receive the greatest amount of space devoted to them, and the general characteristics of these people as attributed to them by the textbooks. Those who have the most space devoted to them, the most significant people of world history, were further analyzed to determine which people are portrayed as possessing characteristics which identify them as heroes or as villains. The selected textbooks were compared to determine the amount of agreement among them.
The study found a large number of individual people identified by name in the selected textbooks. These people represent every corner of the world, area of endeavor, and time period of history. However, some places, events, and times receive greater emphasis than others in all the textbooks studied. These people of world history textbooks are predominately western European, male, and political leaders who are written of in terms of their actions. The limited number of most significant people share the general characteristics of all who are named, but the greater anl0unt of information provided the basis for analysis of the selection of information and the style of writing. This analysis provided a description of those most significant people who share common characteristics which match the characteristics of heroes and of villains. A few of the people exhibit characteristics of both heroes and villains. The textbooks studied are remarkably similar in these emphases. What is different among the textbooks is the exact people included in them and how much narrative text is used to describe and explain them. / Ph. D.

The Association Between Postmodernistic Trends and Historical Scholarship With Implications for the College-Level Teaching of HistorySummers, Jerry L. (Jerry Lynn) 12 1900 (has links)
The debates among historians regarding the "crisis in history" have been directed to various problems. The fragmentation of historical scholarship and writing embodied in the "new history," the alleged overspecialization of historical scholarship, and recent challenges to the objectivity of historical fact and interpretation receive attention. Successive chapters attend to a general background study and description of postmodernism, the association between postmodernistic trends and historical scholarship as seen in poststructuralism and deconstruction, and the implications of postmodernistic criticism for post-secondary history instruction. Deconstruction, or the hermeneutical challenge of poetics, is a criticism of historical epistemological presuppositions and practices. Deconstruction yields insights that are useful to judge historical knowing. However, deconstruction does not present a compelling alternative to accepted standards of historical scholarship and practice

A subject-didactical investigation of conceptualization in history teaching in the secondary schoolGovender, Marimuthy 11 1900 (has links)
This study emerged from a desire to put to an end the crisis mentality surrounding the status of History as a subject in the secondary school. There appears to be consensus amongst didactitions and practitioners of the subject that the present malaise from which History teaching suffers derives from a number of complex sources. The study, however, takes as its point of departure the problem of the content orientated (product) syllabus which over-emphasises the acquisition of factual information and neglects the conceptual understanding (process) of the subject.
Experience is providing the futility of teaching only content (information) to the modern adolescent. Therefore in order to resolve the problem the study focuses, inter alia, on concepts, structures and syllabuses. It is concluded that all subjects are based on conceptual structures which, in turn, have a direct bearing on the authentic education of pupils in general and conceptualization in particular.
It is suggested, therefore, that historical content (product) can only have formative value if it is harnessed to facilitate conceptualization (process). Towards this end a History syllabus which embraces both the product and process approaches is advocated for implementation. In essence this means that the content of History is organised around concepts, that is, relevant concepts are chosen as themes around which the syllabus content is structured. Such an approach, it is believed, would not only help to develop universally valid generalizations but also facilitate the conceptualization process necessary for obtaining historical insight. A model, with examples, is presented as a suggestion for implementation in the classroom. Altenative proposals are also mentioned.
If historical conceptualization is to be effevively realised in the classroom, then it becomes necessary to obtain a perspective on the learning-psychological processes involved in conceptualization. In this regard, specific theoris are highlighted to guide the History teacher in the classroom.
Ti is finally hoped that the new approach suggested would assist teachers, at least to some extent, to resolve the problem of conceptualization in History teaching and thereby help to store the subject to its original position of respect in the school curriculum / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D.Ed.

The 1989 black matriculation failure rate : what were the classroom practices?Zimba, Maoto David January 1994 (has links)
A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Education,
University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for the Degree of Master of Education. / This research is an attempt to reveal aspects of History
teaching concealed in conventional or popular beliefs about
the Black Matriculation pass/fail statistics.
The classroom practices of two History teachers are described.
One comes from an "achieving" Soweto secondary school. The
school is popularly contrived as an "achieving" school because
it is known in the community for producing better than average
DET Matriculation results. The classroom practices of another
teacher. from an "underachieving" school. are also described.
This school is known in the community for producing lower than
average DET results over a number of years.
These classroom practices are illuminated against the backdrop
of the high pass/low failure rate during the eighties, with
particular reference to the year 1989. This is the year in
which the DET matriculation pass/failure rate was the worst in
the decade of the eighties. (Abbreviation abstract) / Andrew Chakane 2019

Entre o Jardim Ângela e o Capão Redondo: um estudo sobre formação de consciência histórica e conflitos / Between Jardim Ângela and Capão Redondo: a study on the formation of historical consciousness and conflictsFarat Júnior, Luiz Carlos 25 September 2018 (has links)
O presente estudo intenciona demonstrar como a formação da consciência histórica nas aulas de História se relaciona com conflitos dentro e fora da sala de aula. Para este fim, no campo teórico, foi utilizada a teoria de Rüsen sobre os tipos de consciência histórica, bem como um levantamento de outros autores sobre as principais visões acerca da questão dos conflitos. Feito o levantamento deste arcabouço teórico, passamos a analisar uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada em um colégio municipal de Ensino Fundamental II no distrito do Capão Redondo, Zona Sul da cidade de São Paulo. De fato, essa parte da dissertação busca demonstrar como as escolhas da professora acompanhada no decorrer do trabalho foram influenciadas pelo contexto de conflitos da região, com especial destaque pelo trabalho do padre James Crowe da Paróquia e Associação dos Santos Mártires. Com esse intuito, são analisadas entrevistas da professora e do padre e pesquisa etnográfica sobre os alunos, bem como aulas de História ministradas pela docente. Por fim, a partir da análise feita, procurase demonstrar que as aulas de História podem se relacionar com conflitos locais de maneira a propiciar um meio estruturado para essas situações. Isso é possível na medida em que a formação de tipos mais complexos de consciência histórica possibilita uma compreensão e articulação maior dos alunos para lidarem com os conflitos ao seu redor e, em alguns casos, até mesmo resolvê-los. / The present study aims to show how the formation of historical consciousness in History classes relates to conflicts inside and out of the classroom. For such, it has been used Rüsen\'s theory on types of historic consciousness and a review of several authors dealing with the main views on conflict issues. After such theoretical review, it has been analyzed a qualitative research made in a classroom of a municipal middle school (Ensino Fundamental II), located at the Capao Redondo district in the South area of the city of Sao Paulo. This section of the present dissertation seeks to show, indeed, how the teacher\'s choices were influenced by the context of conflicts in the area, especially by the work conducted by the catholic priest James Crowe from the Paróquia e Associação dos Santos Mártires. With this mindset, interviews with both the priest and the teacher have been analyzed as well as an ethnographic research on the students and History lessons taught by the teacher. Lastly, from such analysis, it has been sought to demonstrate that History classes can relate to local conflicts in a way to provide a structured environment for such situations. This has been made possible because the emergence of more complex types of historical consciousness provides the students with a better understanding and articulation to deal with conflicts surrounding them and even, in some cases, to solve these conflicts.
