Historical Constructions: How Elementary Student Teachers' Historical Thinking Is Reflected in Their Writing of History.
Gillaspie, Melaney Kay; Davis, O. L.
International Journal of Social Education, v12 n2 p35-45 Fall-Win 1997-98
Examines how elementary student teachers' composition of historical narratives constructed from primary and secondary source accounts demonstrated their historical thinking. Finds that the student teachers were ill-prepared about the "know what" and "know how" of history. Concludes that when student teachers' overall knowledge of history is developed, they then can successfully teach history. (CMK)
