History Teachers Are Not Historians! Theme: Why Teach History?
Paget, Gregory
History and Social Science Teacher, v24 n3 p132-34 Spr 1989
Suggests that the imposition of order on history perpetuates a historian/history teacher dichotomy. Illustrates prevailing fallacies in the teaching of history: (1) the moniker fallacy; (2) the one-school fallacy; (3) the contextual fallacy; and (4) the wave fallacy. States that an avoidance of these fallacies will at least partially reconcile this dichotomy. (LS)
