Example text
Such ideas emphasized the importance of the child’s interaction with the world and the importance of teachers’ ability to assess a child’s readiness for learning. Now, constructivist theories tend to be dominant in research, with an emphasis on the importance of discussion, dialogue, the social context of learning and teachers’ ability to scaffold pupils’ learning beyond their current stage of understanding. However, few teachers are likely to have a close acquaintance with these ideas as a direct result of their training so the ideas have tended to spread in a relatively haphazard way.
In this chapter, we draw on existing evidence and our own experiences to explore pupils’ perspectives because we believe it to be an essential resource for teachers in thinking about their own practice. We do so by drawing, first, on the general literature on ‘pupil voice’; secondly on the fairly limited research carried out on pupils’ attitudes and experiences of studying school history and finally on some of the voices of pupils that we have heard in our own work with schools. We cannot claim that the voices that we have chosen to include are necessarily representative or statistically sampled – in many ways these student contributions result through serendipity rather than design – but we present them here because they challenge thinking about what history teaching currently is and perhaps what it could be.
One teacher, admittedly regarded as something of an eccentric, was at pains to discredit English propaganda…At the beginning of a new school year, he would lead the class through the set text books instructing them to tear out pages of fiction…That done, the lessons could begin. (McCann 1993) The Schools Council History Project set out to provide pupils with the opportunity to understand the process as well as the product of history in the 1970s and to grapple with the challenges and fascination that the imperfect, incomplete traces of the past present to the historian (Schools Council 1973).
