Elisabeth Erdmann, Robert Maier, Susanne Popp (eds): Geschichtsunterricht international – Bestandsaufnahme und Visionen. Worldwide Teaching of History – Present and Future. L'Enseignement de l' histoire dans le Monde – Bilan et visions

National history or world history? Factual knowledge or methodological skills? Formation of a self-conscious, democratically-minded citizen – but how? Which goals should history teaching achieve? How can teachers implement these goals within a strictly defined curriculum? These questions are tackled in this volume by international experts whose articles provide an overview of the most recent research findings and of curricular guidelines. The assessment of the state-of-the-art was discussed at a conference held in Tutzing/Germany, in September 2003, by the International Society for History Didactics. The articles document and further develop the conclusions that emerged from the debate.
