The authors explore the complex and abstract theories associated with historical consciousness and moral consciousness within the concrete settings of classrooms in international contexts. They investigate how history and civics education might nurture in young people a commitment to human rights, preparing them for morally-responsible citizenship. Researchers and educators will find this work an indispensable contribution in defining and exploring the intersections between historical consciousness and moral consciousness, topics that are gaining importance in a morally-disoriented world.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJeffery D \u003cb\u003eNokes \u003c\/b\u003eis a professor in the History Department at Brigham Young University.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHuman life is diverse both within and across times. Fostering young students' abilities to really partake in social life characterized by this multi-dimensional diversity, therefore, requires to not only endow them with a historical knowledge and moral principles separately, but to enable them to actively, independently and critically develop their own abilities to perceive and reflect on and to rationally (inter)act at the intersections of these two dimensions of human life. Drawing on the concept of \"historical consciousness\" for the spectrum of making sense of time and exploring different theories for conceptualising a counterpart of 'moral consciousness', this book both reports on empirical findings in studies from different countries on students' conceptualisations and argumentations, theoretically develops a set of insights and concepts by which the intersecting of the two dimensions can and should be further explored, and draws a set of highly recommendable conclusions for integrating this dimension of young students' personal development in school curricula.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAndreas Körber, professor in history education, University of Hamburg, Germany\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Introduction. \u003cstrong\u003ePART I: Reflections in research. 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Historical consciousness and the human condition – \u003ci\u003erevisiting moral motivations and their implications for education. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3:\u003c\/strong\u003e Language as a means to broaden horizons of perception: third order concepts in research about Historical Consciousness. \u003cstrong\u003e 4:\u003c\/strong\u003e Systematic review of historical consciousness and moral consciousness (mapping the material but understanding the field theoretically). \u003cstrong\u003e5:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discourses of historical consciousness and moral consciousness in Australian doctoral theses. \u003cstrong\u003e 6:\u003c\/strong\u003e Why is ethics important in history education?\u003ci\u003e A dialogue between the various ways of understanding the relationship between ethics and historical consciousness. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART II: Young people’s perceptions \/ Concepts applied. \u003c\/b\u003e7: In search for intersections of historical and moral consciousness in students’ answers: how a research instrument was designed and used. \u003cstrong\u003e 8:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temporal orientation and moral reflections. \u003cstrong\u003e9:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exploring moral sensitivity and historical empathy in students’ response to a historical moral dilemma. \u003cstrong\u003e10\u003c\/strong\u003e: History interactions: Students pose questions to a difficult past.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11:\u003c\/strong\u003e Students on moral judgment making in History and the place of moral questions in the History Classroom. \u003cstrong\u003ePART III: Conclusions and implications for teaching. 12:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conclusions – a new theoretical framework \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017983000919,"sku":"9780367621445","price":37.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780367621445.jpg?v=1750775269","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/historical-and-moral-consciousness-in-education-9780367621445","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
