Thinking Historically for Canada’s Future
-
The overall goals and objectives of the proposed partnership are to nurture a community of inquiry among academic historians, researchers based in faculties of education, Indigenous scholars, graduate students, educators in museums, archives, and historic sites, and practicing teachers to: • map the terrain of history education in K–12 in diverse contexts; • ascertain to what extent history and social studies teaching helps students engage with the key issues or problems facing Canadian society today; • identify and/or develop evidenced-based practices in history teaching and learning, and evaluate their efficacy in providing powerful and engaging learning experiences for students; • develop authentic, multifaceted approaches and tools to assess students’ historical thinking; • in collaboration with partners, cultivate teacher/educator communities of practice that are grounded in theoretical and empirical research on history education pedagogy to promote engaged and critical historical thinking; • identify strengths and weaknesses of pre- and in-service teacher education for history teacher preparation; • collaboratively develop teacher resource materials and other digital resources for K–12 history education that promote critical historical consciousness; and • using findings that emerge from the research, make evidence-based policy recommendations for history curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment through proactive connections with ministries of education, faculties of education, museum educators, Indigenous organizations and stakeholders, publishers, other curriculum developers, and practicing teachers.
