This research aims at finding out the effects of teaching beliefs of History teachers in interpreting NSS Liberal Studies curriculum. Using autoethnography as the research methodology, the researcher, as a novice History teacher, reflected on his curriculum interpretation in comparison to other LS teachers in his context. This self-narrative is then compared with another History teacher's curriculum interpretation in its respective context. The findings of the research identified some common features between the two History teachers in LS curriculum interpretation. They are more likely to highlight the importance of socio-historical context to an issue and transfer from History studies the training of source interpretation skills and argument formation of students and the expertise towards political concepts in the Liberal Studies curriculum. This subjective curriculum interpretation forms the perceived LS curriculum of History teachers. Moreover, the subjective curriculum interpretation is a dynamic process. Individual teacher’s beliefs dynamically balance and rebalance factors in context, between a spectrum from individual teacher’s belief to socio-cultural contextual demands and constrains. Lastly, the complexity in the socio-cultural context correlates to the extent of manifestation of individual teacher’s belief in the subjective Liberal Studies curriculum interpretation. Between the two History teachers, the History teacher, who was situated in a more individualistic and cooperative context, transferred much more teaching beliefs in interpreting Liberal Studies curriculum. On the contrary, another History teacher projected limited teaching beliefs in LS curriculum situation. The more collaborative context leveled individual teacher’s teaching belief. Teacher’s belief is a moderator in context. / published_or_final_version / Education / Master / Master of Education

[pt] O estudo aborda a socialização profissional de professores no contexto da profissão docente na história recente do Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo comparativo entre os processos de socialização profissional de professores de História de dois períodos: a década de 1970 e os anos 2000. Foram focalizadas, de modo especial, duas dimensões básicas da socialização profissional de professores: a formação inicial ou pré-serviço e o componente exercício ou experiência profissional, sobretudo em seus anos iniciais. Foram entrevistados professores de História que vivenciaram a formação e o início da vida profissional nos anos de 1970 e de 2000. O estudo propõe conhecer o que professores de História de duas épocas distintas têm a dizer sobre seus processos de socialização profissional, analisando como cada geração se relacionou com as condições sociais de seu tempo e identificando aspectos relevantes e influentes na socialização profissional dos atores pesquisados. / [en] This study is about the professional socialization of teachers in the context of their work in the recent history of Brazil. It is a comparative study between the processes of professional socialization of History teachers from two different periods: the decades of 1970 and 2000. Two special dimensions of the professional socialization were focused on: the initial studies and the professional experience and the practice, above specially in its first years. History teachers who had their studies and their first years of teaching in the years of 1970 and 2000 were interviewed. The aim is to know what History teachers of two distinct periods have to say about their professional socialization, in relation to the social conditions of their historical time.

Källkritiken tycks vara ett svårorienterat undervisningsinnehåll för historielärare på gymnasiet enligt resultatet av denna uppsats. Syftet var att ta reda på hur lärare reflekterar kring källkritik som undervisningsinnehåll och genom intervjuer med sju lärare har många insikter kommit till ytan. Intervjuerna visar bland annat att lärarna tycker att det är svårt att rymma källkritiken i ett pressat tidsschema och att läroplanens mål är svåra att uppnå. En prioriteringsordning där historiskt stoff ställs före källkritiken syns i många av lärarnas redogörelser och eleverna har enligt flertalet lärare svårt att applicera källkritik och uppnå höga betyg i kunskapskravet. En anledning till deras svårigheter tycks enligt vissa lärare vara deras bristande historiska förkunskaper, och intresset verkar också vara av betydelse. Många lärare efterfrågar tips på bättre uppgifter för att komma åt dessa problem och tycker att det är svårt att formulera givande uppgifter på egen hand.

The purpose of the study, which the essay presents, was to investigate and shed light on history teachers`perception of the ”uses of history” in the history course 1a1 given to upper secondary vocational program students. Through qualitative interviews, the study aimed to investigate the stories and experiences of seven teachers reagarding the obstacles and possibilities they see with teaching the use of history during the course history 1a1. The interviews were then analysed through two theoretical framworks: three historical approaches and epistemological cognition. The research shows that history teachers` subjectiv perception of what the use of history entails can have didactic consequences regarding what extent of the use of history they later teach. The teachers also describe that the students`historical and contemporary frames of reference have a great significance in how they teach the use of history. The study also shows that the teachers can see the use of history as an obstacle as well as an opportunity to create an entrance to the subject of history and to the course history 1a1 itself.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka historielärares syften med att använda film i sin undervisning. Studiens teoretiska perspektiv utgår från historiskt tänkande i form av Peter Seixas och Tom Mortons teori i The big six men också Klas-Göran Karlssons teori om historiebruk. Empirin utgår från en kvalitativ metod i form av kvalitativa intervjuer med fem historielärare på gymnasiet. För att analysera datan används en tematisk dataanalys, där de olika teman kategoriseras och ordnas efter studiens teoretiska perspektiv. Resultatet visar att lärarna använder sig av film när de arbetar med historiskt tänkande då det går att urskilja samtliga tankebegrepp ur The big six i deras svar. Dock är de vanligaste tankebegreppen historiska perspektiv och belägg. Studiens resultat visar också på att de flesta lärarna arbetar med historiebruk när de använder sig av film. En av studiens slutsatser är att lärarna främst utvecklar förmågorna 1, 4 och 5 i ämnesplanen för historia på gymnasiet. Studien mynnar ut i tankar kring vidare forskning om att förena elevers och lärares perspektiv om att använda film i historieundervisningen.

This knowledge overview, known as SAG, aims to answer questions regarding what the national and international research in didactics shows about how history teachers in secondary and upper secondary schools reflect, plan, and teach about genocide. The methods used for this overview were a systematic search of relevant research and the processing of chosen research articles. Our results show that teachers consider genocide to be significant but also a complex subject. Furthermore, teachers aim to not only teach about genocide as a historical factual phenomenon but also open the door to discussions among learners regarding moral aspects of genocide throughout history.  Prominent strategies that teachers use was shown through research on teaching about different narratives about genocide, but also getting learners actively involved in studying history, emphasizing human rights, and highlighting the consequences when these rights are ignored. In addition, research also shows the absence of certain aspects, such as the absence of explicit aims for teaching and too much focus on the political, ideological, and economic perspectives when teaching about genocide. To conclude, teaching about genocide should be a subject that teachers approach with carefulness and explicit strategies to make learners more engaged in the diverse historical contexts being discussed in the classroom and develop historical consciousness and narrative competence.
