    Learning to Live Together in Africa through History Education. An Analysis of School Curricula and Stakeholders’ Perspectives
    (Göttingen: V&R unipress, 2017-11-13) Bentrovato, Denise
    This study sheds light on the current state of history education in Africa and reflects on its potential to prepare the continent’s learners for the challenges of “learning to live together”. Drawing on an examination of school curricula and the experiences of educational stakeholders, it identifies trends in the processes and outcomes of recent curricular revisions, and discerns key challenges relating to the teaching and learning of history across Africa. It scrutinises the position afforded to history within African education systems, and surveys related content and pedagogies. While it identifies African history as a fundamental yet sensitive and controversial subject, it also illustrates examples of present-day curricular strategies aimed at integrating a concern for the promotion of a “culture of peace”.

    Digital learning in European education policies and history curricula
    (2017-07-03) Tribukait, Maren; Baier, Katharina; Grzempa, Hanna; Loukovitou, Antigoni; Sijakovic, Romana; Tettschlag, Nadin; Vuka, Denis
    The advancement of digital technology has raised hopes of radical improvements in education. However, teaching and learning in European schools still seem to follow conventional patterns. This study asks how contemporary European education policies and curricula frame digital learning in schools, with particular attention to history education. It investigates digital strategies, media education concepts, core curricula, and history and IT-related curricula, which collectively shape the requirements, guidelines and expectations for the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in history lessons. In addition to analysing European Union policy, the study includes case studies of seven European countries (Albania, Denmark, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain).
