15. 15/09/2015 15 Learning History – Internationally Recognized Problems •  Memorization •  Text book centred (single source) •  Largely instructionist teaching method •  Perceived by students mainly to be about reading and writing •  Perceived as not vocational – irrelevant, particularly in the jobs market How teaching history should change … from the technical act of conveying knowledge to a cultural actthat teaches students about warrant, about the nature of understanding and about their own role in making historical knowledge NYU Press (2000)

16. 15/09/2015 16 Historical Thinking •  Think about a document’s author and its creationSourcing •  Situate the document and its events in time and placeContextualising •  Carefully consider what the document says and the language used to say itClose Reading •  Use historical information and knowledge to read and understand the document Using Background Knowledge •  Identify what has been left our or is missing from the document by asking questions of its accountReading the Silences •  Ask questions about important details across multiple sources to determine points of agreement and disagreementCorroborating Sam Wineburg, Stanford University, author of Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts: Charting the Future of Teaching the Past, winner of the 2002 Frederick W. Ness Award for the “most important contribution to understanding the liberal arts” by the American Association of Colleges and Universities.

17. 15/09/2015 17 Teaching History in the Digital Age “The best way to use digital media to teach them to see history as we [historians] see it is to create learning opportunities that make it possible for our students to do history – to practice it – to help them make history, using their own creative impulses, rather than simply giving us what they hope is the correct answer to a question we have posed.” T. Mills Kelly, Teaching History in the Digital Age (Michigan, 2013) How can we use Bridge21 model to affect change in the teaching of history?

Because we learned by what we did. It was me and not just what someone said. –  You're actually seeing it happening in front of you and you have to figure out what's happening for yourselves. –  You're going to have much more interest when you can use computers and other physical things, instead of just thinking. –  It was a life-changing experience.

F1: Student Experience Role of the Teacher Student responses indicated recognition of a change in teacher role Greater awareness of own learning and ability to plan and implement learning strategies I drew up or helped to draw up an action plan for a task – Rarely/Never: 43% reduced to 23% post-intervention (c1) 27% to 21% (c2) – Mean: Pretest 1-2 times a month) Posttest closer to 1-2 times a week (c2) I plan for learning one or more times per day 8% in pretest incrased to 27% at posttest. (c1) 72 F1: Student Experience

37. 15/09/2015 37 Teachers’ Views • Particular attention to changed role for teacher and student • More difficult to manage unstructured approach: unsure of amount of guidance they should provide • Students’ prior experience in teamwork a predictor of success => students require input and practice • Group composition a factor in success - challenges with mixed- ability groups => allocation of roles/tasks within groups • Nature of project and timeframe seen as a factor in success 73 I would also spend some time working on teaching group work – teaching how to rely on each other. What’s more, I didn’t give them particular roles the last time and I’d certainly do that We gave out roles to everybody and everybody was assigned a role but I think that the roles were so difficult and unfamiliar to the weaker students …it didn’t really work out F2: Teacher Experience Teachers’ Views • Teachers saw Bridge21 more in terms of a project based approach, facilitated by technology rather than dependant on it • Technology experienced both as an enabler and as a challenge • As an enabler... – Facilitated the team based approach – Motivating factor effecting student engagement – Enabling connections between personal and educational uses • As a challenge... – Technical issues – As a distraction to pursue non task related interests 74 F2: Teacher Experience

38. 15/09/2015 38 Teachers’ Views • Student enjoyment • Student collaboration viewed as contributing factor to perceived positive outcomes: research, observational, presentational skills • ‘Deep’ learning - positive engagement with a task based on an element of student choice and collaboration within groups • Peer assessment experienced as a motivational factor for students to produce their best work in the context of presentations • Student collaboration potentially worthwhile but requiring nurturing 75 F2: Teacher Experience Statement POST PRE DIFF I was encouraged to think about whether my way of looking at something was the only way (Exploring options) 2.15 1.91 0.24 I was given a chance to choose what I wanted to learn (Exploring options) 1.81 1.66 0.15 I worked with one other student on a task (Cooperating) 2.83 2.44 0.39 I contribute as many ideas and suggestions as I can to a task (Contributing) 2.92 3.03 -0.11 I always listen to other students’ ideas (Contributing) 3.2 3.29 -0.09 It’s OK to spend a lot of time working on a task and not find an answer (Thinking Creatively) 2.21 2.11 0.10 Learning is all about getting the highest grade possible in a test (original coding) (Reflecting & evaluating) 2.12 2.34 -0.22 Changes in selected variable means: Pre-test to Post-test (c2) F3: Impact on Key Skills
