Becoming a History Teacher
Becoming a History Teacher is a collection of thoughtful essays by history teachers, historians, and teacher educators on how to prepare student teachers to think historically and to teach historical thinking.
Libraries, Classrooms, and the Interests of Democracy
Library marketing and advertising in schools are now very widespread practices. Since libraries and schools have been strongly linked to economic performance, adopting marketing and advertising techniques into them is often seen as a natural extension of that linkage. But should that be the case? John Buschman argues that as we shape and guide our educative institutions, we should carefully consider the consequences. In Libraries, Classrooms, and the Interests of Democracy: Marking the Limits of Neoliberalism, Dr. Buschman details the connections between our educative institutions and democracy, and the resources within democratic theory reflecting on the tensions between marketing, advertis...
The Palgrave Handbook of History and Social Studies Education
This Handbook presents an international collection of essays examining history education past and present. Framing recent curriculum reforms in Canada and in the United States in light of a century-long debate between the relationship between theory and practice, this collection contextualizes the debate by exploring the evolution of history and social studies education within their state or national contexts. With contributions ranging from Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Sweden, the Netherlands, the Republic of South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States, chapters illuminate the ways in which curriculum theorists and academic researchers are working with curriculum developers and educators to translate and refine notions of historical thinking or inquiry as well as pedagogical practice.
Citizenship and Democracy in Further and Adult Education
This book addresses the questions why citizenship education is an important subject for students in further and adult education and why we need democratic colleges to support the study of citizenship education. It investigates the historical roots of further and adult education and identifies how the adoption of citizenship education in the post-compulsory sector can enrich vocational studies in further education and programmes in adult education. It is argued that democratic colleges are vital to ensure that citizenship education informs the decision-making process throughout educational institutions (and as a means of establishing fair and equal representation for important stakeholders). The author has worked in both sectors for over a decade, and uses this experience to offer a blend of educational practice and philosophical investigation. The result is a work that appeals to both teachers in further and adult education as well as academics and students interested in philosophy of education.
›Assassin’s Creed‹ in the Classroom
The open world role-playing Assassin’s Creed video game series is one of the most successful series of all time, praised for its in-depth use of historical characters and events, compelling graphics, and addictive gameplay.

This collection of essays by architects archaeologists and historiansexplores the learning opportunities of playing, modifying, and extending the games in the classroom, on location, in the architectural studio, and in a museum.

Didactiques de l'histoire, de la géographie et de l'éducation à la citoyenneté
Quelles nouvelles voies s’ouvrent à la recherche et à la pratique en didactique de l’histoire, de la géographie et de l’éducation à la citoyenneté à travers le monde dans des contextes sociopolitiques et scolaires qui s'avèrent instables pour les premiers et, pour les seconds, en recomposition souvent profonde ? Ainsi, l’instauration de programmes fondés sur le développement de compétences a amené certains enseignants à revoir leurs conceptions de l’évaluation. Cela pose le problème de la nature des outils d’évaluation employés et de ce qu’ils évaluent. Par ailleurs, les enseignants se réfèrent généralement à un ensemble de pratiques et de valeurs culture...
Le Plan C
Avec un chômage record, les Français, dans leur globalité, exigent des résultats rapides de leurs nouveaux dirigeants. S'ils ne viennent pas, que faire ? Patienter ou se radicaliser ? Aux élections, s'abstenir ou se laisser séduire par des démagogues ou des populistes ? N'existe-t-il donc pas d'autres choix ? Moi, citoyen normal, parce que je suis persuadé qu'un monde meilleur, équilibré est vraiment possible, si nous nous impliquons davantage, je propose des réformes structurelles concrètes pour notre société (éducation, écologie, fiscalité, dettes, retraites, Europe, finance internationale), pour mettre fin au fatalisme, à l'attentisme.
Museums and the Past
This vibrant new collection edited by Viviane Gosselin and Phaedra Livingstone explores the central role of museums as memory keepers and makers. The idea of historical consciousness – how our conception of the past informs our sense of the present and of the future – is of growing importance for cultural institutions in North America. Using case studies and observations that emerge from a Canadian context, Museums and the Past considers how the modern museum fosters public perceptions of history. Contributors focus on the relationship between historical consciousness and museum practice and reflect on the challenges of transforming museums into dynamic civic labs and meaningful places of memory and learning. The result is an engaging range of perspectives on the contemporary museum’s pedagogical and ethical responsibilities.
