In recent years, there have been substantial changes in the ways history has been taught in the schools of Europe. While the most radical changes have occurred in the nations of Central and Eastern Europe since the Berlin Wall and the other Cold War barriers collapsed in 1989, no school system has been stagnant. From one corner of the continent to the other, from Iceland to Romania, Portugal to Russia, history teachers have had to respond to a great variety of challenges. This book illuminates the ways in which history teachers in Europe are responding to these challenges. It includes articles from almost every European country and concentrates on the major issues which teachers are facing - e. g. the purposes of school history with particular reference to its role in developing a sense of national and other identities; the relation of the history to citizenship and of the teacher to the state; the needs of ethnic minorities; the balance of skills and content; assessment and out-of-school history. Since teachers and educationists learn best when they compare their own experiences with those of others, this book will appeal a wide audience, especially since, with the enlargement of the EU and the spread of liberal democracies, so many issues are much more fully shared than in 1989.
Az öreg kontinens történetének folytatása – ha lehet – még az előző korszaknál, az 1789–1914 közötti Európa történetét tárgyaló kötetnél is érdekfeszítőbb. De hát ez természetes is, hiszen – legalábbis részben – ez már a közelmúlt és a legközelebbi múlt eseményeinek összefoglalása, amelynek a ma élő nemzedékek is akarva-akaratlan, de cselekvő részesei voltak. Vajon túlzás-e azt állítani, hogy a cselekvő részes ez esetben – és mindenekelőtt Európában – egyenlő a szenvedő áldozattal? Világégés, országok-népek földarabolása, diktátorok, polgárháborúk, kommunizmus, fasizmus, Gulág, koncentrációs táborok, hidegháború, internacionalizmus, szabadságmozgalmak vérbe fojtása… a sort nem érdemes folytatni, a kérdést döntse el az olvasó. Mindezek ellenére szerzőnk optimista, bizonyság erre az alcím után kitett kérdőjel. A széles ívű s mind az iskolások, mind a világ eseményeiben tájékozódni kívánók számára szolgáló monográfiát számos térkép, rajz, kép és mutató teszi még szemléletesebbé és gazdagabbá. A kötetet zárótanulmány egészíti ki, amely 1973-tól napjainkig vázolja föl a fontosabb eseményeket.
