The purpose of this baseline study is to determine the significant problems confronting history education in secondary school. The researchers employed qualitative research methods and case study design. The techniques that were employed to acquire credible data were document analysis, interviews, and classroom observation. Six experienced history education teachers and eight top-ten students from Sebeta town public secondary school were interviewed, and academic achievement statistics of 174 students in history education were analyzed. In addition eight lesson observations were carried out to validate the information gleaned from the interviews and document analysis. The study's findings show that the primary challenges influencing history education in Sebeta town public secondary schools were teaching strategy, a lack of awareness about implementing participatory teaching methods, a lack of comprehensiveness of the contents of history education teaching materials, and the issue of the bulkiness and scope of history education texts being covered on time. The findings also indicate the significance of training history education teachers to use participatory teaching tactics, as well as the need for curriculum experts to better coordinate the range of history education content and teaching strategies. The findings of this study will help teachers, practitioners, scholars, policymakers, and educational professionals find solutions to significant problems in secondary school history education, as well as develop effective techniques for teaching history education in secondary schools that involve twenty-first century skills and abilities.

A growing body of research has underscored the importance of inquiry-based methods in history teaching, yet the organisational and cultural contexts within which teachers work and how these impact teachers' practices have received little attention. This article employs the job demands-resources theory to examine factors that inform the classroom methods of secondary history teachers in Ghana. A qualitative approach involving in-depth interviews and lesson observations was used to explore this issue. Results show that teachers in Ghana report high levels of workload that are disproportionate to the resources available in their schools of practice. This resulted in pressure and anxiety to achieve curriculum coverage in response to testing and accountability regimes. The article concludes that tensions between job demands and resources form a disincentive against the implementation of inquiry-based pedagogies in Ghanaian schools. The article draws implications for curriculum design and stakeholder engagement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent decades, history and education scholars in the Western world have argued for a constructivist approach to disciplinary thinking in the teaching and learning of History, known as historical thinking. Yet, there has been little classroom-based empirical research exploring how teachers engage with historical thinking theory, enact related practices in the classroom, and, in Canada, utilize historical thinking concepts. The multiple-case study outlined here addresses this gap, by offering descriptive details and insights regarding four Canadian secondary school teachers’ attitudes, understandings, implementation, and applications of historical thinking in lessons and assessments. Differences among these teachers’ perceptions and practices indicate that historical thinking is not a singular pedagogical approach. Yet, common elements revealed two broadly drawn typologies that may serve as inspiration and provide concrete examples for history teachers wishing to develop their own historical thinking practices. Rich descriptions also provide unique insights into how the teachers use their judgment and knowledge in the choices and decisions they make to move theory to practice. Finally, this study offers a methodology for the continued classroom-based study of historical thinking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Understanding local history is fundamental to fostering a comprehensive global viewpoint. As technological advances shape our pedagogical tools, Virtual Reality (VR) stands out for its potential educational impact. Though its promise in educational settings is widely acknowledged, especially in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, there is a noticeable decrease in research exploring VR's efficacy in arts. The present study examines the effects of VR-mediated interventions on cultural education. In greater detail, secondary school adolescents (N = 52) embarked on a journey into local history through an immersive 360° VR experience. As part of our research approach, we conducted pre- and post-intervention assessments to gauge participants' grasp of the content and further distributed psychometric instruments to evaluate their reception of VR as an instructional approach. The analysis indicates that VR's immersive elements enhance knowledge acquisition but the impact is modulated by the complexity of the subject matter. Additionally, the study reveals that a tailored, context-sensitive, instructional design is paramount for optimising learning outcomes and mitigating educational inequities. This work challenges the "one-size-fits-all" approach to educational VR, advocating for a more targeted instructional approach. Consequently, it emphasises the need for educators and VR developers to collaboratively tailor interventions that are both culturally and contextually relevant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

History is a subject that students often find uninspiring in school education. This paper explores the application of social VR metaverse platforms in combination with interactive, nonlinear web platforms designed for immersive storytelling to support learning about a sensitive historical event, namely the Asia Minor Catastrophe. The goal was to design an alternative method of learning history and investigate if it would engage students and foster their independence. A mixed-methods research design was applied. Thirty-four (n = 34) adult participants engaged in the interactive book and VR space over the course of three weeks. After an online workshop, feedback was collected from participants through a custom questionnaire. The quantitative data from the questionnaire were analyzed statistically utilizing IBM SPSS, while the qualitative responses were coded thematically. This study reveals that these two tools can enhance historical education by increasing student engagement, interaction, and understanding. Participants appreciated the immersive and participatory nature of the material. This study concludes that these technologies have the potential to enhance history education by promoting active participation and engagement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

History curricula are shaped by factors such as historiography, pedagogical ideals, political goals, international initiatives, and broader societal conditions and processes. This article examines ideas about purposes, content, and methods, of history education, in history curricula that were used in Swedish and Norwegian theoretical upper secondary schools between 1920 and 1960. These schools aimed at preparing students for university studies and providing general education (Bildung). While having close connections to academic disciplines, these schools were also influenced by political goals of democratization and ideas of progressive pedagogy. There are tensions in the curricula between material aspects of Bildung, focusing on content, and formal aspects of Bildung, focusing on students' development. Although material aspects remain essential, formal aspects are increasingly emphasized through individual projects, student interaction, more active use of historical sources, and, in the latest Swedish documents, critical thinking. Limitations of progressive methods are also acknowledged. The Norwegian and Swedish curricula differ in attitudes to nationalism and the state. These differences can be explained by different starting points for nation-building and differences between Norwegian and Swedish historiography. There is a more dramatic shift in the Norwegian curricula, from a highly teacher/material-centred approach, to an ideal of active and independent students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital history-based project-based learning (PjBL) in history learning is a learning medium that can provide a special attraction for students who can improve historical concept skills and historical awareness. However, there are still many teachers who have not used it, so it is very important to study it. This research aims to analyze the influence of the digital history based PJBL model in improving historical concept skills and historical awareness. The method used is quasi-experimental with two classes, experimental and control. The population used class XI high school students in Lampung, Indonesia and the sample size was 213. Cluster random sampling was used to determine sampling, while data collection was in the form of test instruments. The test instrument questions were analyzed using the gain score and Kruskal-Walli's test to determine the increase in historical concept skills and historical awareness with the help of statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) 26. The research results confirmed that digital history based PjBL was effective in increasing historical concept skills and historical awareness with a high score, making it the best choice to overcome obstacles in history learning.

This study investigates alternative approaches for demonstrating historical understanding in elementary school history education, motivated by challenges to educational institutions posed by increased ChatGPT-related plagiarism. Focused on secondary education, an area with scant research, this study, through sociocultural and linguistic methods of analysis, contrasted human-generated historical narratives with those produced by ChatGPT. It was found that ChatGPT's narratives, while stylistically superior, lacked emotional depth, highlighting a key differentiation from human storytelling. However, despite this differentiation, ChatGPT otherwise effectively mimicked typical discourse patterns of historical storytelling, suggesting that narrative-based writing assignments do not significantly reduce the likelihood of ChatGPT-assisted plagiarism. The study concludes by suggesting that rather than focusing on mitigating plagiarism, educational approaches to ChatGPT should seek to channel its potential for historical narratives into assistance with task design, delivery of content, and coaching student writing.

This article reflects on tensions arising in multiple perspectives approaches as they are deployed in response to histories of atrocity and conflict. We call attention to the ways that multiple perspectives intersect with the challenges posed by competing memories of violence and questions of responsibility. Focusing on a peace education programme that sought to work with 'complex' perpetrator histories in Cambodia, we explore how peace education can produce its intended aims of building dialogue and empathy across groups while, coextensively, enabling space for potentially harmful forms of historical revisionism. We show how the multi-perspectivity in peace education can be misaligned with the subjectivities that it seeks to reconcile or dignify in the present and reflect on the need for peace educators to develop approaches that move beyond the presentation of 'perspective' and identity as synonymous. We conclude by calling attention to other potential figurations of shared responsibility within peace education.. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fundamental to recalling memories and remembering is to look at the past and the future concurrently. Remembering is crucial to have a temporal association so that present changes and developments can be elaborated in understanding the construction of memory. Historical trauma is a psychological and emotional collective and subjective injury which are transmitted from adults to children in a cycle process, and it continues over a life span of individuals and across generations. Soft memories are created and shared as a social process. These are narratives, historical texts and similar, less tangible forms of memory. History education has a profound influence on social discourse and the way soft memories are perceived, and since formal schooling is at the centre of shaping a generation and textbooks are the main medium of knowledge transmission, the official narrative shapes it and is often presented selectively. This research explores how the official regulation of history education is used to align official state discourse with social memory. This research employs secondary data and document analysis by examining the compulsory textbook (1979) used since 1971 in history education. It explores history education’s impact on individual narratives of remembrance and collective memory. It examines the long-term effects of what has been taught in secondary school history education on adulthood perceptions of past historical occurrences. Findings confirm that a consistent, official historical discourse supported by exposure to “hard” and “soft” memories enables the maintenance of collective memory as represented in the official discourse among society members. It also concluded that when difficult history is transmitted to the younger generation as part of education, they may experience trauma and similar negative associated feelings; furthermore, they do not necessarily unconditionally embrace the official history but question it in their adulthood.

A feature of the concept of “minorities” is the invisibility and stigmatization of communities, more so within the idea of the nation. This article analyses the representation and construction of the concepts of “Europe”, “Nation” and “Minority” in eight German, Turkish and Spanish secondary school history textbooks, particularly 16th-21st century (7th-10th grade). In times of strengthening nationalism, it is also discussed here whether the representations convey essentialist ideas and imperialistic structures hidden between the lines, or whether they reflect the concept of “minorities” as a component of a pluralistic and hybrid European society. The research is divided into two areas: A comparative quantitative research will be carried out on the representation of 'minorities' in German, Turkish and Spanish history textbooks and a qualitative hermeneutic analysis. Key findings indicate that each country predominantly imparts a history curriculum with a strong national focus, with the pronounced emphasis found in Turkish history textbooks. European-centered history is often portrayed and based on myths as emblematic of modern civilization in comparison with other civilizations or countries, especially in Spanish and German history textbooks. Similarities in the portrayal of “minorities” tend to be either nonexistent or negative, further reinforcing a sense of belonging for national identities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The tribe of Ad belonged to one of the Arab tribes belonging to the generation of Ad bin Aws, who lived after the tribe of Noah. According to the Qur'an, they were called the people of Aad Oli, their place of residence was a land called Ahqaf (between Yemen, Oman and a part of Saudi Arabia) or called Aram, which there is a difference of opinion regarding its exact location. According to the verses of the Noble Qur'an, the people of Aad were strong and large, who lived a good and prosperous life and used their power for oppression and oppression, and lived in ignorance, they did not believe in the teachings of Hazrat Hud, their prophet, and adopted idol worship. The Ad people did not believe in any of the beliefs and principles of religion. Denying and persecuting their prophet, slandering and lying to their prophet, denying and disbelief in the verses of Almighty God, denying and denying the existence of the Day of Resurrection, were their actions in front of their prophet. The people of Aad also had ugly and morally objectionable traits and characteristics, such as: worldliness and luxury, ignorance and ignorance, cooperation with oppressors of the people, oppression and tyranny, obedience to polytheist fathers, pride and drunkenness, actions that caused the emergence of Ugly deeds were done in them and caused them to fall and perish, as a result of which they were destroyed by divine punishment, which was a severe storm. Mentioning the story of the people of Ad in the Holy Quran has instructive purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Prior research on classroom interaction has investigated how the teacher's feedback turn following students' responses can be used to transform students' turns into academic expressions during whole class discussions. Nevertheless, more empirical studies are needed to explore how teachers' translanguaging practices can play a role in shaping students' contributions into pedagogical opportunities for introducing academic terminologies in English-Medium-Instruction (EMI) classrooms. Adopting translanguaging as an analytical perspective, this study explores how an EMI history teacher deploys available linguistic and multimodal resources to connect students' responses with academic concepts and terminologies. The study draws its data from a larger linguistic ethnographic project that took place in an EMI secondary history classroom in Hong Kong. The classroom interaction data is examined using Multimodal Conversation Analysis, and this analysis is further triangulated with video-stimulated-recall-interviews that are analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. This paper argues that the EMI teacher's translanguaging practices facilitate the process of transforming student contributions into academic terminology and concepts. The process of deploying translanguaging for transforming student contributions highlights translanguaging as an important component of the teacher's classroom interactional competence for constructing new configurations of language practices and achieving specific pedagogical purposes.

This study seeks to understand the development of teacher professional knowledge about models and modeling of a Chemistry Education associate professor, experienced and specialized in modeling-based teaching from a longitudinal socio-historical perspective. To do so, we analyzed her statements about her life history in terms of school and academic education, as well as professional practices for the last 18 years. Data were constructed from the transcription of those statements and interpreted according to theoreticalmethodological procedures based on both a microgenetic analysis, promoting the decontextualization of contexts, and a macrogenetic analysis, from the recontextualization of contexts. This made it possible to trace her experiences from the student context at the secondary school to the experiences as university professor about to teach a course on models and modeling to a class of future teachers. The data analysis showed that, in her teaching history, various educational situations and contexts involving modeling-based teaching influenced her teacher professional knowledge about models and modeling, as well as how some turning points influenced and took part of the development of such knowledge. This study favors an understanding of the constitution of the subject (the associate professor) as it allows entering into her life contexts in which developmental paths of her teacher professional knowledge were identified and characterized. Furthermore, it contributes to the understanding of how science teachers can develop such knowledge from a longitudinal socio-historical perspective, which may have implications for teachers education.

In this study, it is aimed to reveal the view of Turkish history in Turkmenistan and Turkmenistan-Turkey relations through textbooks. In the study, historical research, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The main data of the study consist of the history textbooks currently taught in the Turkmenistan education system from the fifth to the eleventh grades. In this context, ten different textbooks were analysed in line with the purpose of the study and the relevant parts written in Turkmenistan Turkish were transferred to today's Turkish. Subsequently, the data obtained were categorised and evaluated under the headings of Turkish History and Republic of Turkey. When the findings of the research are analysed, it is seen that history education in Turkmenistan is presented with a national narrative and Turkish history in Turkmen history textbooks is evaluated on the axis of Turkmen national history. As a matter of fact, in this narrative, which starts with the Oghuz Turkmen State and continues in the direction of Gokturk-Karahanli-Gazneli-Seljuk-Ottoman states Turkmen identity has a global character. With this feature, Turkmens are considered as the descendants of a generation that established great states in history. In addition to political and military developments in Turkish history, the textbooks also include elements of culture and civilisation. In Turkmenistan history textbooks, the National Struggle, the republic and some revolutions in the first years of the republic were also mentioned. Atatürk was given a special place and his role and importance in history was emphasised. It is noticeable that Turkmenistan's relations with modern Turkey have been covered on the axis of domestic and foreign policy. In this context, the focus is on Turkish domestic politics, political developments and elections, starting from the Turgut Özal era and continuing with the AK Party era. In foreign policy, Turkey's situation during the Cold War period and NATO are mentioned, and information about Turkey's foreign policy on the east-west and regional axis until the beginning of the 21st century is given. At the end of the Turkey chapter in Turkmenistan history textbooks, Turkmenistan-Turkey relations are emphasised. It is noteworthy that this information presented in Turkmenistan history textbooks constitutes an opportunity for the preparation of common history education and history textbooks of the Turkic world.

Concepts, which are the basic building blocks of knowledge, play an important role in history education. This study was conducted to reveal the perceptions and misconceptions of social studies teacher candidates about historical concepts. The study was carried out using qualitative research method. Purposeful sampling method was used for selecting the research participants. Equal numbers of female and male Social Studies teacher candidates studying at a state university were selected as research participants in the study. A semi-structured interview form was used to reveal the participants' perceptions about the concepts under scrutiny. Descriptive data analysis technique was used to analyze the collected research data. As a result of the data analysis, it was found that the pre-service teachers had difficulty in giving scientific definitions of the historical concepts examined in the study, and they defined the concepts on the basis of the connotations and analogies in their minds. It was also found that most of the pre-service teachers could not fully define the concepts, and they experienced confusion and misconceptions about some historical concepts. The reasons for their misconceptions are attributable to their incomplete and incorrect knowledge about concepts or their inability to associate the concepts with each other within the context of the relevant subject learned.

The Utopía y Praxis Latinoamericana magazine has published its 105th issue, which focuses on social and cultural criticism, environmental sustainability, resistance through symbolism and cultural practices, and methodology and epistemology in social research. The articles explore the connections between the local and the global, the ancestral and the contemporary, and the individual and the collective, with the aim of promoting broader social and epistemic justice. The reflection on identity and community is highlighted, as well as the questioning of established structures of power and knowledge. The author emphasizes the importance of axiology and normativity in the dynamics of symbols in the Latin American symbolic universe, mentioning examples such as the reinterpretation of "Caliban" and the resistance symbolized by the Virgin of Guadalupe and the handkerchief of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo. It is concluded that symbols play a crucial role in articulating discourses and practices of resistance, liberation, and cultural and social vindication in Latin America. In addition, the magazine includes book reviews on the end of the cycle of anticapitalist revolutions, the role of the Inquisition in colonial Chile, psychological practice from cosmobiocentric perspectives, the life and work of Pablo González Casanova, and the theoretical, historical, and political evolution of social change in Latin America. The text also mentions a person who is a co-founder and editor-in-chief of the nuestrAmérica magazine and is dedicated to advising and managing editorial processes of scientific journals, with research focused on the philosophy of history, history teaching, and critical pedagogy.

The ways in which the recent past of political violence is presented to the students is one of the fundamental tasks of contemporary education. However, it is often constricted by the rational and cognitive objectives of the duty of memory. In response to this, in this paper I propose an ethnographic gaze, attentive and sensitive to the textures of its daily performance, in order to contribute in a more solid and realistic way to the pedagogy of the duty of remembrance. This look has allowed me, in an investigation carried out in La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina) in 2018, to account for the intertwining of the work around the recent past with the school culture and the disciplinary code of history, with the relationships that the subjects have with each other and, through the links they build between different temporalities, with multiple attitudes and values.

Throughout Turkey's geography, migration has been an immutable reality and an essential part of its presence. Anatolia, the geography of civilizations shaped by migration, has not only been the destination of migration but also the path of migration. It has contributed along with the push and pull factors for migration movements at different times. The concepts of migration have become more prominent in academic literature, especially after the Syrian Civil War outbreak in March 2011. The prerequisite for living in peace with millions of refugees, who were supposed to be guests at first, but now seems permanent in our country, is to eliminate xenophobia. Xenophobia can only be combated with an essential humanistic attitude, which politics must support. Education is the most important means of achieving this humanistic attitude, and teaching history is one of the most appropriate subjects for eliminating xenophobia in education, which can help build a culture of coexistence. Therefore, the historicity of migration that is equated equating the historicity of migration with the history of humanity and representing migration with an emphasis on the humanistic side of it in history textbooks could be constructive ways to combat xenophobia and promote a healthy community life through education. The aim of this study is to analyze the level of representation of migration and relevant concepts in 2018 and 2019 compulsory high school history textbooks published by the MoNE (The Turkish Ministry of National Education). Based on this study's findings, it is recommended to improve the quality and quantity of the representation of migration and relevant concepts in the history textbooks for the youth to develop a sense of empathy with migrants on the threshold of adulthood.

A conversation between Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen and Amanda Reeser Lawrence recorded on November 13, 2023 at the Yale School of Architecture. The conversation focuses on their shared interest in twentieth-century American architecture culture, including architectural pedagogy marked by the use of architectural precedents as a generative design tool and the rise of art historical formalism as a dominant method of teaching architectural history. During the discussions the authors unpacked the key concepts and intellectual roots of their respective projects, "untimeliness" and the "usable past" (Pelkonen) and "influence" and "anachronism" (Lawrence) and shared notes on how they approach history teaching in a design school setting so as to make it an integral part of architectural thought.

Objective: The history courses at any country, plays an important role in creating national identity and value for that country; But despite its high importance, it is observed that interest in studying history, in its specialized sense, is low among students. As it seems, teachers are facing challenges in relation to the way this subject is taught in schools and the content used to teach it. Therefore, the aim of the current research was to analyze the lived experiences of history teachers of the challenges of the curriculum and teaching history courses in the second secondary level. Materials and methods: To achieve this goal, the critical paradigm, qualitative approach and descriptive phenomenological research strategy of multi-stage Van Manen type and document-library method were used. The field of research included history teachers of the second secondary course in Kurdistan province in the academic year 1401-1402 with a purposeful sampling method. The research tool was a semi-structured interview made by the researcher, which continued until the degree of relative saturation with the number of 9 people. Findings: The findings were presented in two sections: curriculum and educational challenges and solutions. The challenges section itself was categorized into three areas: challenges related to history books (11 cases), challenges of teachers' teaching methods (7 cases), and challenges beyond the two mentioned areas (4 cases). Based on this, the solutions section in the two areas of teachers' teaching solutions in order to solve the challenges of classroom education (11 cases) and suggestions for the efficiency of the quality of teaching history courses at the curriculum level, which were presented in the three areas of books (12 cases), teachers (2 cases) and beyond these two (5 cases). Discussion and conclusion: Discussion and conclusion: The results of the analysis of the findings showed that the curriculum in the field of teaching history courses in the second secondary level needs a fundamental revision. At this point, history textbooks play a prominent role in creating educational challenges. Because most of the educational challenges of these courses are related to this field; Among other things, the history books still follow the memory-oriented approach and have less analyzed the events, this is because their history writing style is still traditional and classic. However, not all challenges are limited to the content of books; Moreover, the methods used for teaching history are not in line with the evolution of textbooks and the new goals of the curriculum, and most teachers still use lecture-oriented and teacher-oriented methods. In addition to these cases, there are various personal and social factors outside the teacher's classroom system and in the history course that indirectly affect the classroom teaching of these courses; Therefore, in order to achieve the goals of the new curriculum, there is a need to make changes in the methods of teaching history courses as well as the way of training and selecting teachers. Although the teachers at the class level are trying to complete the shortcomings of the textbooks and use new educational methods; But in order to achieve the educational goals of these courses and improve the quality of history courses, more fundamental changes are needed in the educational planning for history courses in the second secondary level. In order to radically reduce some of the mentioned challenges, in addition to making changes in the management level of classroom education and ingenuity in the teaching and learning process, it is necessary to have appropriate planning at the national macro level and make changes in the field of curriculum content and educational methods. The suggestions expressed were mostly in the context of revising and making changes in the content of history books, so that the emphasis of the content of history books is more on the analysis of historical issues and events and the application of history. Based on the findings of the research, it is suggested that history books should be specifically revised, educational methods should be changed in line with the new goals of history education, which have changed from memory-oriented to historical literacy education, and new student-oriented educational methods should be used instead of teacher-oriented in The education process should be used and history should be taught in a more practical way.

Narrative is fundamental to human thought, yet in many classrooms, expository texts are commonly used to support learning in content‐based subjects, such as history. Given the importance of narrative, it might be harnessed as a powerful tool to support learning. This research compares the impact of narrative nonfiction (NNF) and expository text (ET) on the development and retention of conceptual understanding relating to World War I (WWI). In an experiment involving 78 participants (mean age = 10.2 years, standard deviation = 0.29), pupils were placed into one of two conditions: in one, information about WWI was conveyed primarily through NNF texts, and in the other, through ETs. Participants completed written pre‐, post‐ and delayed post‐assessments to assess development and retention of conceptual understanding. It was found that participants in the NNF condition showed greater chronological and causal thinking skills. In addition, participants in the NNF condition retained significantly more conceptual understanding at delayed post‐assessments than those in the ET condition. Overall, these findings suggest that narrative texts have the potential to be powerful learning tools. Implications for how texts are selected and utilised to support learning in the primary, history classroom are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examined how other countries were portrayed in the history test paper of the Chinese National College Entrance Exam, or Gaokao, over the past four decades. A qualitative study was conducted on the questions from history exams administered from 1978 to 2021. The contents of these questions were analyzed and synthesized into historical narratives, and six thematic narratives were identified in the test material: Humiliation and Resistance, War Changes History, the World Community, the Celestial Empire, Social Formations and Politics, and Communism. The study found that the history questions not only presented historical knowledge but also included an official understanding of history. The findings suggest that the Chinese government strengthened the ideological work of socialism with Chinese characteristics, shaping the legitimacy of Chinese communist rule and strengthening nationalist education.

"Hollywood or History: An Inquiry-Based Strategy for Using Film to Teach World History" is a comprehensive volume edited by Scott Roberts and Charles Elfer that explores the use of Hollywood films as a tool for teaching world history. The book consists of 30 chapters organized chronologically, covering nine historical periods. Each chapter provides a replicable lesson plan, including grade level, relevant standards, resources, and assessment strategies. The book goes beyond evaluating the accuracy of historical representations in films and encourages students to critically analyze issues of representation, context, and the power of Hollywood in shaping our understanding of the past. While the volume primarily focuses on Western history, it also includes chapters that explore global perspectives and narratives. Overall, the book serves as a valuable resource for teachers looking to engage students in the study of world history through film. [Extracted from the article]

Literacy activities in education hold a crucial position, particularly reading within history education. Addressing literacy challenges encountered in the history learning process at State Senior High School (SMAN) 1 Sumenep, there arises a necessity for innovation in implementing school literacy movements. LIRIS stands as an innovative initiative formed by the School Literacy Team (Tim Literasi Sekolah/TLS) at SMAN 1 Sumenep, aimed at addressing literacy challenges by amalgamating literacy processes with research. This research aims to find out the implementation and problems of history learning in the GLS program and find out how LIRIS can be an innovation in literacy activities. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data is collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and verification. Findings reveal: (1) GLS implementation in history education generally follows existing guidelines, observable in familiarization, development, and learning stages, yet specifics vary based on classroom conditions and teacher innovation, (2) literacy activity issues in history education arise across student, teacher, and school support aspects, and (3) LIRIS emerges as an innovative literacy activity addressing both general and specific history education challenges, albeit still necessitating evaluation and refinement.
