Reviving Clio: Inspired History Teaching and Learning (Without High-Stakes Tests).
Stoskopf, Alan
Phi Delta Kappan, v9 n4 p468-473 Feb 2001
Inquiry-based teaching and assessment approaches are superior to standardized tests for measuring students' progress. Historical thinking skills employed in Leopold von Ranke's 19th-century seminars have been refined to consider point of view, credibility of evidence, historical context, causality, and multiple perspectives--benchmarks of real-life teaching. (Contains 27 references.) (MLH)
