Driver, Steven – Teaching History, 2020
In his article in this journal just over a year ago, Steven Driver set out his vision for a less myopic range of topics in A-level coursework.

Mohamud, Abdul; Whitburn, Robin – Teaching History, 2019
It is almost 20 years since Michael Riley first invited Key Stage 3 history teachers to 'choose and plant' their enquiry questions. Many members of the history education community have taken up that invitation, making use of overarching enquiry questions to structure students' learning. But what is meant by enquiry in this context is sometimes…

Sumner, Jennifer – Brock Education: A Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2013
To survive, we need to eat. And yet eating is much more than just ingesting fuel to keep our bodies going. Besides being a source of sustenance, food is a cause for celebration, an inducement to temptation, a weapon for wielding power, an indicator of well-being, a catalyst for change, and a vehicle for learning. In the age of globalization, these…

Weinland, Thomas P. – Social Education, 2012
Planning a world history course presents a nearly impossible task. One cannot complete a world history course, or even a European history course, without casting a huge amount of historical information onto the curriculum planning scrapheap.
