Formal curricula, official curriculum documents and recommended resources, are revised periodically and have the opportunity to reflect feminist scholarship available at the time of writing. This feminist project analyzes the treatment of women's history in British Columbia's Social Studies 8-10 Integrated Resource Package 1997, the Social Studies 11 Integrated Resouces Package 1997, and the History 12 Integrated Resource Package 1997, all of which are due to be implemented in September, 1999. Informed by feminist historiography and pedagogy, the above curricula are analyzed using the following thematic organizers: degree of representation; segregation versus integration; experience, diversity and voice; and the construction and deconstruction of gender knowledge. A sampling of recommended learning resources found in the above Integrated Resource Packages are also examined for their treatment of women's history. The outcome of the research suggests that while limited gains have been made in the degree to which women are addressed in the new curricula, the manner of representation largely reflects her-story approaches that have been considered problematic by most feminist historians since the mid-1970s. Recommendations for future revisions are also included.

Teachers are considered by most policymakers and school change experts to be the centerpiece of educational change. Therefore, it is not surprising that many current educational reform efforts in South Africa are directed at teachers and their involvement in educational reform is seen as critical. Reforms must address the core processes of teaching and learning if they are to markedly change what happens in schools. Yet teachers respond to educational reforms in a variety of ways: some teachers push or sustain reform efforts, whereas others resist or actively subvert them. The question of addressing curriculum change in our schools has recently become a matter of contention. Teachers are finding it difficult to adjust to the changing educational policies that seek to coerce teachers into addressing curriculum change in their classrooms. In response to the changes in educational policy in the new dispensation, the teaching of history, a subject that had already experienced numerous transformations in the past, was once again faced with the challenges of a renewed curriculum framework. This study aims to capture the complexities and contradictions that are associated with a transforming educational system. More specifically it interogates the question of how history teachers see themselves within this transformation process and the impact that it has on their identities to curriculum change. Identity formation theories were used as a lens to understand the various forces that influence the identities of teachers. A number of theories were examined in order to unfold identity development from various approaches to allow for a more holistic understanding of a teacher's life career. The main question that guided this investigation was how history teachers construct their identities within the context of curriculum change. In attempting to unpack the messiness of the curriculum transformation process and at the same time to capture how history teachers are negotiating their roles and identities in post -apartheid South Africa, this research study employed a qualitative method of data collection based on a life history research tradition. The richness of information that was obtained from lengthy, open-ended interviews with six history teachers from the Kwasanti circuit, provided a sound platform on which to respond to the critical questions of the study. The data was collated to develop narrative stories with the intention of understanding teacher thinking and experiences within a broad social and historical context. The wealth of information provided by the interviews enabled the researcher to examine how these teachers were constructing their identities within the context of curriculum change. An analysis of the findings indicated that the conceptions that history teachers have about the changing curriculum are influenced by their past experiences. The study revealed that some of the major forces of influence that shaped the teachers' understanding of the changing curriculum were pragmatic and educational. Teachers come with many realities into the profession often reconstructing and creating their context based on past experiences and perceptions. Evidence from the data reveals that the plethora of policy initiatives seeking educational transformation in South Africa are to a large degree not congruent with existing teachers' beliefs . Teachers have to redefine and renegotiate their roles and identities, which is problematic because they come embedded with experiences gleaned during the apartheid era. The study concludes with a synthesis of the findings and it makes recommendations for addressing the present needs of history teachers in South Africa. The reconceptualisation of education through new policy initiatives has to refocus and look more closely at teachers' understanding of their day-to-day realities in the work environment. Teachers need to 'own' the process of change, and reform efforts need to be grounded in an understanding of teachers' professional lives and development. Teachers must see themselves as experts in the dynamics of change. To become experts in the dynamics of change, teachers must become skilled change agents. / Theses (Ph.D.) - University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2005.

Thesis (MPhil)-- Stellenbosch University, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Today, educators in South Africa must be capable of successfully designing and implementing an outcomes-based curriculum that prepares learners for the world of work. The aim of this study is to determine what kind of groundwork has to be done by history educators to prepare themselves for outcomes-based education and the General Education and Training Phase. The Revised National Curriculum Statement will have far-reaching implications on curriculum development. A thorough knowledge of the principles and theoretical foundation of the process of curriculum development and outcomesbased education is essential to the successful implementation of the directives contained in this document. Dynamic curriculum development is founded on the quality of a thorough design. Educators - the people who use the curriculum - must be closely involved in the content and planning thereof. By implementing the proposed structure and procedures educators will be able to ensure quality control with regard to the successful preparation, implementation and assessment of outcomes-based education. This will also provide continuity in outcomes-based curriculum development. Once the newly designed curriculum has been established, existing school and classroom practices cannot be retained. Appropriate preparation is essential for the comprehensive changes that are taking place. Good management at all levels will prevent a climate of dissatisfaction and resistance from arising during the preparation phase of the curriculum. The real success of curriculum design depends on how it is implemented in the school and the classroom. In this study the emphasis falls on the modular approach to curriculum, with the learning area history as an example. The implementation of the designed curriculum must be continuously assessed. Through curriculum or quality assessment of their operations, services and learning programmes, schools must strive towards applying quality management to the benefit of the educators as well as the learners. It is vital that all educators, also history educators, will offer quality services that are globally competitive. In the final analysis curriculum development is about the learners and the way in which they will benefit from the process. The learners deserve to have a first-rate curriculum. After all, it is the stated aim of outcomes-based education to encourage learners to be successful. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tans moet opvoeders in Suid-Afrika in staat wees om 'n uitkomsgebaseerde kurrikulum, wat leerders voorberei vir die wêreld van werk, suksesvol te ontwerp en te implementeer. Hierdie studie het ten doelom vas te stel watter voorbereiding nodig is om die geskiedenis-opvoeder vir uitkomsgebaseerde onderwys en die Algemene Onderwys- en Opleidingsfase voor te berei. Die Hersiene Nasionale Kurrikulumverklaring gaan verreikende implikasies hê. Om die voorskrifte wat daarin vervat is suksesvol te implementeer, verg 'n deeglike kennis van die beginsels en teoretiese basis van die proses van kurrikulumontwikkeling en uitkomsgebaseerde onderwys. Dinamiese kurrikulumontwikkeling berus op die kwaliteit van 'n deeglike ontwerp. Die inhoud en beplanning van die kurrikulumontwerp mag nie vir kurrikulumgebruikers verlore gaan nie. Deur die voorgestelde struktuur en voorskrifte te implementeer, kan kwaliteitbeheer t.o.v. die latere suksesvolle gereedmaking, implementering en assessering van uitkomsgebaseerde onderwys moontlik gemaak word. Dit verleen ook kontinuïteit aan uitkomsgebaseerde kurrikulumontwikkeling. Ná die nuut-ontwerpe kurrikulum daargestel is, kan bestaande skool- en klaskamerbestuurspraktyke nie bly handhaaf word nie. Behoorlike gereedmaking vir hierdie omvattende veranderinge is nodig. Goeie bestuur op alle vlakke verhoed dat 'n klimaat van ontevredenheid en weerstand tydens die gereedmaking van die kurrikulum ontstaan. Die werklike sukses van kurrikulumontwerp berus op die praktiese implementering daarvan in die skool en klaskamer. Daar word in hierdie studie op die modulêre kurrikulumbenadering gefokus, met geskiedenis as voorbeeld. Die implementering van die ontwerpte kurrikulum moet deurlopend geassesseer word. Deur kurrikulum- of kwaliteitsassessering van hul bedryf, dienste en leerprogramme, moet skole daarna streef om kwaliteitsbestuur tot voordeel van die opvoeders en leerders aan te wend. Dit is belangrik dat alle opvoeders, ook geskiedenis-opvoeders, in skole kwaliteitdienste wat globaal mededingend is lewer. Die leerders is uiteindelik die begin- en eindpunt van kurrikulumontwikkeling. Die leerders verdien 'n kwaliteitkurrikulum. UGO wil leerders immers aanmoedig om suksesvol te wees.

Through the analysis of the content of the HQs, this research will provide practical suggestions on how the comics can both be used as a documentary source for the study of a given time and can be a support material to promote in the classroom reflections on the genesis of the anachronisms found in the representations of past cultures. It seeks to identify advances and also the main difficulties, obstacles or even limits that still prevent a more frequent or useful use of this resource in the teaching of History. / O projeto propõe estabelecer um suporte teórico e metodológico para a utilização das HQs no ensino da História pelos professores de História que trabalham no ciclo 2 do ensino fundamental e no ensino médio. Através da análise do conteúdo das HQs, esta pesquisa fornecerá sugestões práticas de como as HQs tanto podem ser usadas como fonte documental para o estudo de determinada época quanto podem ser material de apoio para promover em sala de aula reflexões sobre a gênese dos anacronismos encontrados nas representações de culturas do passado. Pretende identificar avanços e também as principais dificuldades, obstáculos ou mesmo limites que ainda impedem um uso mais freqüente ou proveitoso desse recurso no ensino de História.(AU)

This study looks at history teaching as a reflection of the circumstances and interests that shaped the nature of Palestinian society, Arab and Jewish, in mandate Palestine. It examines the pedagogical and political roots of educational segregation between Arabs and Jews, tracing the causes that turned it into an impervious practice and explores the engagement of both communities with the education of the national other and the reciprocal influence of this engagement on both education systems. The thesis examines the sociology of particularly Arab, but also Hebrew knowledge, focusing on who wrote history textbooks and why, what were the cultural and intellectual influences involved in this process, and how was history instrumentalised for the creation of a new identity, shedding light on the conscious or unconscious manner in which colonial historiographic paradigms wrote themselves into these textbooks. The juxtaposition of Arabic and Hebrew textbooks underlines the centrality of the conflict in moulding exclusive notions of collectivity and territoriality through the narration of the past. The second part of the project discusses the institutionalisation of this historiography into an educational policy, through curricula, syllabi and exams. I focus on the colonial logic behind this policy, highlighting its inconsistent educational rationale. By analysing the pedagogic discourse of Arab educators and essays written by students, I argue that a growing community of educators and students countered the British policy, seeking to make sense and find an authentic voice within the contours of colonial reality. The thesis concludes with an examination of the teaching of history beyond the history course, analysing the omnipresence of history in the students' lives and their interpretation of it, underlying the differences between the Arab and Hebrew communities in their ability to disseminate a shared, historical consciousness. This analysis of Arabic and Hebrew sources discloses the uncanny resemblance between the production of historical education in both communities, which nonetheless contributed in both cases to driving them apart rather than opening any space for commonality.

xiii, 139 p. : ill. (some col.) / The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of training in decision-making on U.S. history content knowledge and on decision-making competence. All sophomores (<italic>n</italic> = 387) in one Pacific Northwest high school were randomly assigned for two trimesters to one of two groups: (a) U.S. history instruction integrated with decision training or (b) traditional U.S. history instruction. During the study, Experimental Group participants were trained to use a decision-making tool to sort, process, and analyze the facts, events, and concepts of history in the context of solving a historically relevant problem. By applying the decision-making tool to problems and decisions of the past, students utilized a schema for critical, analytical, and creative thinking about U.S. history content. Students also analyzed current problems and decisions they face. Dependent measures were (a) NAEP U.S. History questions, (b) Decision-Making Competence Index (DMC), (c) NAEP item analysis using knowledge forms and intellectual operations, and (d) Experimental Group follow-up interviews. Results indicated statistically significant differences between groups favoring the Experimental on both the NAEP U.S. History test and on the DMC. Experimental Group participants scored higher on NAEP items requiring concept or principle knowledge forms and on items requiring summarization or illustration. Follow-up interview scores positively correlated with DMC posttest scores. Results are discussed in terms of (a) the application of NAEP and DMC scores to curricular interventions and (b) item analysis and interviews in relation to the environmental and physical constraints of the current high school structure. / Committee in charge: Dr. Gerald Tindal, Chairperson; Dr. Keith Hollenbeck, Member; Dr. Paul Yovanoff, Member; Dr. Jean Stockard, Outside Member

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.

Para tanto a pesquisa percorre o seguinte roteiro teórico: primeiro, discute a questão da educação enquanto política cultural; segundo, problematiza o currículo como uma arena de disputas ideológicas e políticas; terceiro, recorta o tema do currículo para abordar as complexas relações entre currículo de História, memória social e a construção das identidades; quarto, descreve brevemente como a questão racial é tradicionalmente abordada pela historiografia e pelos materiais didáticos de Ensino de História. Após percorrer todo este percurso teórico a dissertação elenca os principais desafios que marcaram o longo processo de construção e negociação de uma legislação federal sobre Educação Anti-Racista. A partir desta contextualização, a pesquisa desenvolve uma Análise de Conteúdo Descritiva das Diretrizes Curriculares para a Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais e o Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira e Africana e do Plano Nacional que organizou sua implementação. Abordados em conjunto, estes documentos são nomeados como a legislação federal sobre Educação Anti-Racista. Esta análise objetivou verificar se há algum projeto pedagógico na legislação federal da Educação Anti-Racista e qual a função que o Ensino de História da África assumiria neste projeto. A partir da constatação de um claro projeto pedagógico em que o Ensino de História da África assume papel crucial, foram construídos descritores que pudessem orientar a posterior análise de como o Currículo de História do Estado de São Paulo aborda o Ensino de História da África. As considerações finais demonstram que o Currículo de História do Estado de São Paulo não segue as orientações da legislação federal no que diz respeito ao Ensino de História da África. Mais do que não cumprir as Diretrizes Curriculares, a Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo revela uma disparidade de concepção sobre sociedade e educação em seu Currículo, que resultou na falta de diálogo com o movimento social e o intenso academicismo que marcou o seu processo de elaboração. A dissertação permite afirmar que mais do que negar o direito ao acesso à memória afro-brasileirae africana, o Currículo do Estado de São Paulo é eurocêntrico, estereotipado e preconceituoso em relação ao conteúdo de História da África.

A alimentação é uma das expressões mais sensíveis da cultura, com seus sabores e aromas, pois toca nas sensibilidades e nos estranhamentos das pessoas perante culinárias específicas. Assim, as receitas evocam memórias, estimulando a imaginação e desencadeando sentimentos profundos, que se materializam em vínculos entre o passado e o presente. A capacidade de percebê-los e valorizá-los dependem dos padrões culturais e da memória. Com a alimentação vista como um aspecto importante na história e na cultura de um povo, torna-se visível a discussão de guardar e proteger esses bens como patrimônio imaterial, tornando assim, a gastronomia umas das principais representações culturais de um povo. Este estudo analisa a culinária dos imigrantes italianos, da região de Bento Gonçalves, como instrumento de memória coletiva e sua transformação em turismo gastronômico. Vislumbra também a criação de um material paradidático referente à pesquisa, que conduz o aluno a uma pesquisa aproximada ao do historiador. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2016-02-19T16:21:04Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Caroline Rigo Nardin.pdf: 2226627 bytes, checksum: 504e11dc4704c0f499d74d413cbfc2c3 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-02-19T16:21:04Z (GMT).

Thus, these senses in recipes evoke memories by stimulating the imagination and unleashing deep feelings that materialize in ties between the past and the present. The ability to perceive and appreciate them depend on cultural patterns and memory. With food becoming an important aspect in the history and culture of a people, the discussion of maintaining and protecting these assets as an intangible heritage is evident, thus making food a major cultural representation of a people. This study analyzes the cuisine of Italian immigrants in the area of Bento Gonçalves, as a collective memory tool and its transformation into gastronomic tourism. It also envisions the creation of paradidactic materials related to research, leading the student to a search that resembles that of a historian.
