    Recent historiographical work on Chilean history textbooks
    (Georg-Eckert-Institut. Leibniz-Institut für Internationale Schulbuchforschung, 2014-03-10) Minte, Andrea Renate
    This article examines historiographical work in Chilean school textbooks. Hermeneutic analysis was conducted on 16 textbooks issued by a range of publishers between 1980 and 2010 in order to analyse the historiographical perspectives of the books’ various authors. The findings of the analysis reveal that textbooks from the 1980s, published in the period of Chile’s military dictatorship, do not include any historiographical work. Textbooks from the 1990s include organised accounts of events which incorporate views from conservative historians without any critical analysis. Only after 2000 is there evidence of an increasing tendency to incorporate recent historiographical work from a number of different ideological perspectives in secondary school textbooks. We close the article by discussing the implications of these findings.

    Assessing educational materials in primary and secondary schools. Four assessment models
    (Georg-Eckert-Institut für Internationale Schulbuchforschung, 2010-05-05) Hansen, Hans Jørgen
    What characterizes the quality of educational materials – and – how can educational materials be assessed? These questions are central not only in a pedagogical practice but also in research and in educational policy in general, nevertheless, this field seems only examined and discussed very rarely in a theoretical perspective. There is quite a number of models for analysing and assessing educational materials among educators, however, what they seem to have in common is a lack of a theoretical foundation in relation to the concept educational materials and in relation to assessment. Consequently there is an imminent need for a certain degree transparency and structure when assessing teaching materials. Assessment of teaching tools opens to a range of fundamental questions, which can be found in much evaluation theory: What is the evaluation's object? Which method are you to use in order to collect knowledge? What are the evaluation's criteria build on, and what is the evaluation to be used to?
