Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a groundbreaking exploration of the teaching of history in Oxford University. The author, an experienced historian, argues that the current system is failing to produce graduates with the necessary skills to contribute to historical knowledge. The author traces the historical development of historical teaching in Oxford, and shows how it has become dominated by a focus on memorizing facts and regurgitating them in exams. This approach, he argues, does not give students the critical thinking skills they need to understand the past and interpret historical evidence. The author proposes a radical overhaul of the system, arguing that students should be given more opportunities to engage with original sources and to develop their own research skills. He also calls for a greater focus on the social and economic history of England, and for the inclusion of more non-Western perspectives in the curriculum. This book is a timely and important contribution to the debate about the future of historical education. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the teaching of history, and for anyone who wants to understand the challenges facing the discipline in the 21st century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331334248_0
