This module aims to produce reflective, analytical and effective classroom practitioners who are conversant with current discourses on ‘school history’ and ‘history’ more generally as it relates to secondary education.
It also aims to produce practitioners who acknowledge the past, present and (possible) future influence and place of history within school curricula, educational practices and wider socio-cultural relations.
A central aim emphasised throughout this module is the importance of being able to reflect on and develop a position about the theoretical nature of history as a discourse and the uses of secondary school history education.
