Teaching history in this way makes it both intellectually demanding and more interesting, while at the same time helps students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become functioning citizens in a democracy. The opening chapters provide the rationale for the study of history, its epistemological basis, and the logic of the discipline. The bulk of the book deals with practical ways to help students acquire, process, and apply information. In particular, it addresses the specific thinking skills required by the discipline, with many effective techniques for helping students to master them. The implications of this approach for teacher evaluation of student work are also addressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements Introduction Chapter 1\tThe Teaching of History - Rationale Chapter 2\tThe Nature of the Discipline\t Chapter 3\tThe Logic of History\t Chapter 4\tTeaching the Nature of the Discipline\t Chapter 5\tHelping Students Acquire Data – Lecture and Audiovisual Chapter 6\tHelping Students Acquire Data – Reading Chapter 7\tReading Graphics Chapter 8\tProcessing Data  Chapter 9\tTranslation into other Forms Chapter 10\tResearch Chapter 11\tWriting Chapter 12\tRecall and Test-Taking Chapter 13\tOral Questioning Chapter 14\tThe Nature of Document-Based Questions\t Chapter 15\tAnswering Document-Based Questions\t Chapter 16\tEvaluation Chapter 17\tClassroom Management\t Appendix 1\tSimplified Rules of Parliamentary Procedure\t Appendix 2\tIndex of Teaching\/Learning Activities Bibliography Index","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037872980311,"sku":"9780761859901","price":37.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761859901.jpg?v=1750937952","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-handbook-for-history-teachers-9780761859901","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
