Synopsis

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.
