  • "...someone might become involved in a fascist group or something...": pupils' perceptions of history at the end of Key Stages 2, 3 and 4

      Teaching History article
    In contrast with earlier studies which presented a bleak picture of the impact of history teaching, Paul Goalen presents a small-scale study that is optimistic.

      Teaching History article
    Can 25 so-called ‘low ability’ girls access 30 pages of difficult text?

Mary Woolley makes the point that boring texts are those that tell you only essential...
