Seefeldt, Carol
Theory and Research in Social Education, v21 n2 p143-55 Spr 1993
Asserts that history for primary-level children should be organized around key ideas that characterize the field of history. Maintains that such everyday concepts such as time, change, the continuity of human life, and the past can be taught to young children and can be used as a foundation for later historical thinking.
