Teaching Multiperspective European History in International Classrooms Lessons from Testing of the Multiperspective Textbook The European Experience: A Multi-Perspective History of Modern Europe, 1500-2000 and Guide for its Use

Publication

Abstract

This digital volume serves as a guide for teaching multiperspective European history in the international classroom. It provides a collection of lesson plans, as well as recommendations and best practices.

The volume is based on the experiences of testing the TEH21 outputs by international teacher teams in structured learning activities that formed part of this project, using the textbook The European Experience: A Multi-Perspective History of Modern Europe, 1500-2000. This guide is addressed primarily to lecturers of European history at universities, especially in international classrooms and for bachelor-level students, and it partly serves as a toolkit for using the textbook.

The document may also provide useful suggestions for secondary school history teachers, public historians, and educators beyond academia, while also bringing to the fore valuable insightsfor history education researchers, education policy-makers and other stakeholders broadly involved in the teaching of history.
