A Primer for Teaching World History – Ten Design Principles: Design Principles for Teaching History

Autor Antoinette Burton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2011
A Primer for Teaching World History is a guide for college and high school teachers who are designing an introductory-level world history syllabus for the first time, for those who already teach world history and are seeking new ideas or approaches, and for those who train future teachers to prepare any history course with a global or transnational focus. Drawing on her own classroom practices, as well as her career as a historian, Antoinette Burton offers a set of principles to help instructors think about how to design their courses with specific goals in mind, whatever those may be. She encourages teachers to envision the world history syllabus as having an architecture: a fundamental, underlying structure or interpretive focus that runs throughout the course, shaping students' experiences, offering pathways in and out of "the global," and reflecting the teacher's convictions about the world and the work of history.

Recenzii

"Antoinette Burton has done everyone who teaches world history a great service: she shows how the most significant new work by scholars can be incorporated in ways that make world history more exciting, satisfying, and successful at introducing students to historical thinking and writing. No one who teaches this survey will remain untouched by what she has to say." Lynn Hunt, Eugen Weber Professor of Modern European History, University of California, Los Angeles

"Antoinette Burton's concise but meaty book provides essential advice for the many new and experienced instructors faced with the daunting challenge of teaching world history in what are often ever-larger classes. Its emphasis on creating a course around certain design principles is both welcome and timely, allowing instructors to develop a course that is both meaningful and manageable." Merry Wiesner-Hanks, Distinguished Professor of History, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

“This book is recommended reading for all teachers and PhD students who want to know more about world history and are looking for practical suggestions on how to design and organise their syllabus. As Burton acknowledges in the introduction, a lot of the advice she gives on the structure of courses and on testing strategies, mainly – if not only – applies to the Anglo-American university system.” - Dario Miccoli, European Review of History, March 2013

Descriere

This book offers principles to consider when creating a world history syllabus; it prompts a teacher, rather than aiming for full world coverage, to pick an interpretive focus and thread it through the course. It will be used by university faculty, graduate students, and high school teachers who are teaching world history for the first time or want to rethink their approach to teaching the subject (and for those training world history teachers). Few academics have been trained to teach world history, yet many universities are adding the subject to their curricula and 60% of U.S. states require World History for high school graduation.
