| Description: | The book analyses how students and teachers encounter history, how they describe and define knowledge about history and what history means to them. The project also includes analyses of how this knowledge has been expressed and communicated in curricula and history textbooks for the last 100 years. What do you know when you know something about history? What is important to know and how do you learn? Adolescents encounter history everywhere: at school, in the family, in media and society. But how do adolescents perceive history and in what ways do aspects of meaning and ethical values affect the encounters with history? This study discusses how Swedish adolescents and teachers encounter, communicate and define knowledge about history, analysing the process from curricula and history textbooks to the world of the pupils. |
