What Is the Future for Primary School History in England?
Temple, Sue
Education 3-13, v38 n3 p233-241 Aug 2010
This article examines teachers' attitudes to history and how they are currently organising history in their schools. In 2011 it is expected that a new Primary Curriculum will be introduced into English and Welsh schools which may change how history is approached and organised, as it is possible that most of the history taught will be organised in cross-curricular themes. Through accessing the voices of practising teachers it was established that they need support from a trained member of staff, either within the school or a Local Advisor, in order to make the most of the opportunities for change. The findings of this research also suggest that more training is needed in how to teach history, if it is to be organised and taught in meaningful ways; some schools have not responded to suggestions to introduce more cross-curricular work into their classrooms.
