Focus:
We welcome manuscripts on teaching any historical subject, time period, or region. Here are some questions that may be addressed… other questions as
well as proposals from diverse perspectives are encouraged.
1. What pedagogical or andragogical approaches should be used in
teaching an undergraduate or graduate history class?
2. As our understanding of history and historical development changes,
how should we adjust our teaching and learning facilitation methods to
reflect these changes?
3. What types of methods work best at each level–high school, community
college, undergraduate, graduate or post-graduate?
4. How appropriate or effective are currently broadly popular methods,
such as cooperative learning (i.e. group work), service learning, and
educational games, for the history classroom?
5. How much should we adapt old methods or move to completely new
approaches? In other words, how and how far should we teach beyond the
textbook?
6. How can we assess the relative effectiveness of new methods for
teaching history?
7. What do we teach and/or should we teach in a secondary school history
class: memory, heritage, traditional indigenous histories, counterfactual
history, or reading and writing? How much history should be required in a
school curriculum?
8. What educational technology is useful for teaching history?
9. How can we effectively use educational technology to promote
historical understanding?
10. What is the effect of computer-based technology on historical
scholarship and teaching?
