Os efeitos que tais discursos e práticas de Memória produzem na sociedade, normalmente, compõem o universo de significação do aluno, antes mesmo de ele entrar na escola e se deparar com o saber histórico de referência presente, por exemplo, nos livros didáticos de História. À luz de Pierre Nora, a relação entre História e Memória, enquanto campos de saberes específicos, mas que, em certa medida, se complementam, constitui o principal campo de reflexão nesta pesquisa. Considerando, sobretudo, a forma como esses saberes são refletidos no Ensino de História brasileiro. Portanto, a presente dissertação tem por objetivo analisar o acervo de livros didáticos de História aprovados pelo Programa Nacional de Livro Didático 2011, a fim de perceber como a distinção entre os campos de saber da Memória e da História é evidenciada e teorizada pelos autores no interior dos livros didáticos de História. O percurso de investigação pautou-se, primeiramente, na leitura individual das dezesseis coleções didáticas de História, cada uma composta de quatro volumes referentes aos 6º, 7º, 8º e 9º anos do ensino fundamental, além dos 9 PPGE/UFJF – HISTÓRIA E MEMÓRIA NOS LIMITES DO (IN) VISÍVEL: Reflexões do saber histórico escolar nos livros didáticos de História. Manuais do Professor, a fim de perceber, através das regularidades e ausências, a frequência com que ambos os campos de saber são mobilizados conceitualmente e enquanto estratégia didática por parte dos autores para a formação do pensamento histórico. Posteriormente, tornou-se possível produzir um olhar de conjunto sobre o perfil das obras didáticas de História em circulação no território nacional, mapeando os cenários de invisibilidade ou visibilidade em que a distinção entre os campos da Memória e da História assumem nesses livros. Como fonte de embasamento teórico, busquei referências em autores que se dedicam especificamente aos estudos do campo da Memória. Entre eles, destaco os diálogos com Paul Ricoeur, para discutir as operações de lembranças e esquecimentos; Maurice Halbwachs, para pensar a questão da Memória como construção coletiva que se dá no interior de uma comunidade afetiva; Andreas Huysen e Michael Pollak, para discutir a temática da Memória na contemporaneidade. Entre outros grandes interlocutores, ressalto, também, o diálogo fundamental que estabeleci com o historiador Jorn Rüsen, dada a sua reflexão sobre os processos de formação da consciência histórica nos sujeitos, nos quais as operações de Memória assumem lugar de destaque. / The recurrence to memory, nowadays, has drawn researchers’ attention to their uses and appropriations by different groups and social movements as a way to contain the forgetting avalanche, typical of a constant changes’ world, also as an element of the multiple identities’ consolidation. The effects that such discourses and memory practices produce in the society, typically, make up the student’s universe of meaning, even before he enters school and face with their historical knowing reference, for example, in history textbooks. According to Pierre Nora, the relationship between history and memory, in the specific knowledge domain, but I some way complement each other, is the major consideration in this research, especially considering how such knowledge is reflected in the Teaching of History in Brazil. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the collection of history books, approved by the National Textbook 2011 in order to understand how the distinction between domain of memory and history knowledge is evidenced by the authors and theorized within of history textbooks. The investigation method was based, primarily, on sixteen teaching history collections individual reading, each consisting of four volumes, on the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th primary education grades, in addition to the Professor’s Manual, in order to realize through the regularities and absences, the frequency with which both domains of knowledge are conceptually mobilized and while teaching strategy, according with the authors, to the formation of historical thinking. Later, it became possible to produce an overall view about the history textbooks 11 PPGE/UFJF – HISTÓRIA E MEMÓRIA NOS LIMITES DO (IN) VISÍVEL: Reflexões do saber histórico escolar nos livros didáticos de História. profiles in circulation above the country, mapping out of invisibility or visibility scenarios that the distinction between memory and history domains in these books are assume. As a theoretical support source, has been quest for references from authors who dedicated specifically to memory domain studies. It is possible to highlight the dialogue with Paul Ricoeur, to discuss the operations of memory and forgetfulness; Maurice Halbwachs, to question the assume of memory as a collective construction that occurs within an affective community; Huysen Andreas and Michael Pollak, to discuss the theme of memory in contemporary times. Among other major stakeholders, it is also essential to emphasize that the dialogue established with the historian Rüsen Jorn, given its reflection on the processes of historical consciousness formation in the subjects in which the operations of memory assume a prominent position.

M.A. / The present dissertation is divided into three parts. The first and second part consist of the related theoretical background; while in the third part presents the crux of research data, including classification, analysis, records, findings and proposals. Specifically: The research project begins with the introduction which contains challenges that determine the research. What, in 2007, caused the withdrawal of a new history schoolbook in Greece, especially since it had started taking positive comments from the daily press of the country and contained positive presentations and innovations? Nowadays, does the Greek school education remain emphatically national when more and more nations are becoming multicultural and national, economies are becoming increasingly internationalised and the fabric of society, both globally and in Greece, is changing, becoming enriched with diverse cultural, linguistic, national and socio-economic characteristics? This dissertation endeavours to discover all of this. The first chapter of the first part presents the purpose, scope, subjects and methodology of research. This section analyzes the historical period from the Fall of Constantinople (1453) to the establishment of the modern independent Greek state in 1830 ( called Tourkokratia). The historical content is presented as it is in textbooks of compulsory education in Greece and those of Greek education in the Diaspora and then they are identified and compared to one another. Several questions will be asked and considered. For instance, what does every history schoolbook focus on? What is comprehended of the national history in the generations of Greek children to come? What do they promote as imperative knowledge to have and what to ignore? What is the mindset on our national image? And how are the Greeks depicted in contrast with other nations, especially today? What conclusions can be drawn? What proposals can emerge about the study of History in school? This study aims, in addition to the previous analysis, to list the historical facts presented in each textbook and to make a parallel comparison. Also, analysis of new and revised history textbooks (2006-07) allows us to draw conclusions regarding the content, which is given to students in Greece and the Diaspora. A list with details of facts that differentiate the books from their predecessors, especially after the The main sources used for the study are Greek textbooks for the Primary Education, the Lower Secondary Education and the Diaspora, over the last 30 years. The methodological tool of content analysis is chosen using the paragraph as the unit of analysis in the treatment of data. This approach provides more in depth information than what is given by a simple reading of a text. Then, this latent information is extrapolated with the intention of utilizing it for research. The units of analysis and categorization enable a condensation of the text, summarizing it and giving an overview of the performances of the researcher, at the points of interest. In our study, the information utilised from school textbooks was obtained mainly from main texts, exercises, supplementary texts (sources, etc.), pictures, images and explanations of the images. The findings regarding references which promote peaceful and friendly disposition towards “others” were positive whilst the findings for references that cause aggression, xenophobia and violent emotions were negative. Neutral allusions considered petitions that carry neither positive nor negative evaluative load, or negative or positive messages. More specifically, the methodology that is applied to search the content of school textbooks followed the path below: • Finding common categories for all the material which is under investigation. After an initial approach of content of school textbooks, the categories of analysis were defined by the objectives of the investigation. In other words, the process of formation of categories is based on how the elements of the books are structured, following all the methodological conditions. • Configuration categories of analysis. • The categorization of the reports provides data that essentially refers to the portrayal of Greece that each schoolbook reflects. This includes the basic texts, exercises, tasks and images and the supplementary material. • Collection and processing of the findings. • The drawing of conclusions.

The aim of this study was to find out whether the school history textbooks used in Transkei Junior and Senior secondary schools were adequate in helping pupils meet the demands of their course. The results of the study would be used as argument for or against the assumption that the type of textbooks used in Transkei schools, through their inadequacy in equipping the pupils with the necessary skills for "doing" history, do contribute to the high failure rate in history, especially that they are in most schools, the only recourse for both the teacher and the pupil. In particular the study intended to see what strategies the history textbooks used to aid concept understanding which is crucial to the understanding of history. Twenty three criteria, fourteen objective and nine subjective were used to assess the books for readability and for strategies which might aid concept understanding. Eight books were assessed: four Std 5 and four Std 8 books. The results showed that only three of the eight books catered for the development of skills of learning history and were suited to the level of the pupiils for whom they were intended . History textbooks therefore need to be improved so as to foster the skills of learning history. Their inadequacy could be a contributory factor to the high rate of failure. In-service and pre-service training in methods of textbook analysis can assist in textbook selection and for changes in methods of teaching to supplement shortcomings in books which are commonly used

Zimbabwe is a country in southern Africa that was formerly known as Rhodesia and was established in 1890 by European settlers. Zimbabwe gained independence from the colonial regime in 1980 and has a rich historical background. This study serves to understand the use of archaeology in two selected Form 3 Zimbabwean history textbooks. The study was a case study with embedded units of analysis situated in the interpretivist paradigm analysing how and why archaeology had been used in Zimbabwean school history textbooks. Content analysis of each unit was employed to better understand this concept and the transdisciplinary relationship between historians and archaeologists is conceptualized in the textbooks. What emerged from the analysis was that archaeology was indeed made use of to explain the prehistory of Zimbabwe, it was just the depth of the archaeological content that differed between the two textbooks sampled. Archaeology was used in a nationalistic manner to show that prior to the arrival of Europeans, Zimbabwe did indeed have a thriving culture with city states, craftsmen and international trade contrary to the Eurocentric views that native Zimbabweans were primitive. In this study, it was shown that without archaeology the prehistory of Zimbabwe would remain fragmented and mixed up in romanticised versions of Great Zimbabwe being built by the Queen of Sheba or being connected to the mines of King Solomon and never really giving credit to the native inhabitants of Zimbabwe who were the true architects of a nation as great as that of Great Zimbabwe. In the light of the recent political transformations in Zimbabwe, it was however evident that the history textbooks have changed, relying less on archaeology and more on a patriotic form of history filled with oral traditions and earlier historical writings of the Arabs and Portuguese traders and explorers of old. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2019. / Humanities Education / MEd / Unrestricted

The diploma thesis, entitled "The rule of the Jagiellonian dynasty on the Czech territory as documented in 1918-1938 textbooks", observes the transformation of a historical fact regarding data concerning the period of the reign of the Jagellonian dynasty, as stated in Czech and Polish textbooks dating back to 1918-1938. The national and socio-political point of the emergence of both countries after 1918 is the basis for the observation and comparison of the presented historiographical content. The thesis focuses on the difference of the presentation of the historical content, as well as on the influence of a particular political period on the text editing of the content in history textbooks. The thesis begins with an introduction to the Jagellonian period. This is followed by a comparison of historical contents in Polish and Czechoslovakian history textbooks. Finally, this work also shows the effect of political situations on the transformation of historiography and the narrative of content regarding the Jagellonian period in history textbooks. Keywords: History textbooks, narrative, comparison, historiography,transformation.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with increased tensions between East and West as a result, has, after a period of relative calm, led to a situation reminiscent of the days of the Cold War. A situation where Europe is once again torn between two power poles under threat of nuclear war in a way reminiscent of the time leading up to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Although development can be said to require the absence of history repeating itself , it is undeniably easy to think of this event and its consequences. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the case of the Berlin Wall is presented in ten textbooks for upper secondary school published 1992–2019, if the presentation has changed over time and if so, how. To investigate this, a qualitative text analysis has been made of the source material. Two theories have been used. The first is the use of history, where Karlsson's typology has been used to analyze this. The second is history awareness to analyze how the view of the fall of the Berlin Wall has become history and how this affects the view of the present and future in the textbooks. The results show that it is possible to distinguish two themes in the textbooks. The first is an emphasis on economic perspectives between 1992–2001 and the second is an emphasis on democracy in the textbooks written 2007-2019. Furthermore, the result shows that the use of scientific history occurs in all history textbooks, the political-pedagogical occurs in half. The ideological use of history appears only in two textbooks in the first part of the study.

The topic of this study is multiperspectivity, a concept in history didactics denoting a way and predisposition to view history through many different perspectives, with regards to, among other things, historical people, events, and historiography. Using multiperspectivity in history education not only reveals the varied ways in which history is constructed, but also exposes the history of peoples previously marginalized in historical narratives, such as women, children, the poor, and various ethnic groups. Using a content analysis and coding scheme, the study examines the representtation of the era of the Swedish empire in five history textbooks for upper secondary school in Sweden. Textbooks are an important part of teaching, and as research material they can provide insight into how a given subject may be represented, which in turn makes it possible to analyse the implications of that representation. The study finds that the textbooks varied considerably regarding their multiperspectivity. Some included the perspectives of peasants, women, immigration, and the effects of religion on society, while others did not, and were instead noticeably more limited in their perspectivity. All textbooks did however focus heavily on military and political matters. The various wars Sweden was engaged in, as well as the kings – particularly Gustavus Adolphus and Charles XII – receive most attention throughout the texts, while other perspectives are, more or less depending on the textbook, given far less attention. Furthermore, the texts themselves are most often framed as a narrative of the rise and fall of an empire. These findings are in many ways congruent with previous research on history textbooks, and together with previous research on multiperspectivity, the study shows the complexity of applying this concept to history education.

This study aims to examine and compare the representations of the colonial era in history textbooks from Uganda and Sweden to broaden the understanding of colonial discourses. Utilizing critical discourse analysis (CDA), it seeks to uncover and emphasize the variations in colonial discourse between the two countries. Findings reveal a nuanced portrayal of colonial history in Ugandan textbooks, characterized by complex and conflicting relationships between colonizers and the colonized, yet heavily patriarchal and overlooking women’s experiences. On the other hand, Swedish textbooks present a stereotypical and dualistic portrayal of colonizers’ cruelty and colonized inferiority. A potential implication from the analysis is that these different representations could impact students’ perspectives and identities, at both individual and societal levels.

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.
