Redefining history education and historical thinking.

Historical Thinking provides a refreshing perspective on the teaching of history by debunking the notion that there is only one way to teach and learn history. Sam Wineburg argues that history is not just a memorization of facts, but a way of understanding the past through cognitive thinking and developing relationships and understanding its implications in the present. He offers insight into how ordinary people interpret the past, demonstrating that history can be learned through various methods, beyond the traditional classroom. This book is ideal for educators, students and those who want to broaden their understanding of history.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Since ancient times, the pundits have lamented young people's lack of historical knowledge and warned that ignorance of the past surely condemns humanity to repeating its mistakes. This book demolishes the conventional notion that there is one true history and one best way to teach it.
