Core Practices for Teaching History: The Results of a Delphi Panel Survey
Fogo, Bradley
Theory and Research in Social Education, v42 n2 p151-196 2014
Recent education literature and research has focused on identifying effective core teaching practices to inform and help shape teacher education and professional development. Although a rich literature on the teaching and learning of history has continued to develop over the past decade, core practice research has largely overlooked history--social studies and focused primarily on math, English-language arts, and science. This article takes a step toward identifying and defining core history teaching practices. It presents and discusses the findings from a Delphi panel survey of 26 expert history educators--teachers, teacher educators, and educational researchers--focused on building consensus around a set of core teaching practices for secondary history education.
