Permanent URI for this collectionhttps://repository.gei.de/handle/11428/71

Die Schriftenreihe des Georg-Eckert-Instituts präsentiert Forschungsergebnisse zu Bildungsmedien in ihrem soziokulturellen Kontext in systematischer, historischer und vergleichender Perspektive. Schwerpunkte liegen insbesondere auf Erinnerungsmustern, Identifikationsangeboten und Deutungscodes, die über Bildungsmedien konstruiert, vermittelt oder verfestigt werden, sowie auf Wahrnehmungsdifferenzen, Spannungen und Konflikten, die sich in diesen Medien spiegeln oder an ihnen entzünden. Eckert. Die Schriftenreihe ist referiert und wird durch einen wissenschaftlichen Beirat unterstützt. Die Bände erscheinen auch in gedruckter Form in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Wissenschaftsverlag Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht.

    This volume, with nine original contributions, owes its existence to the Georg Arnhold International Summer School on Education for Sustainable Peace that took place in June 2015 in Braunschweig, Germany, jointly organized by the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research (GEI) and the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ).1 The Georg Arnhold Program on Education for Sustainable Peace was established at the Georg Eckert Institute in 2013 by Henry H. Arnhold to honor the legacy of his grandfather Georg Arnhold, a committed Germanpacifist from the city of Dresden, and comprises a guest professorship, an annual summer school and symposium, and focuses on educational media and curricula in post-conflict and transitional societies.

    Narrating and Teaching the Nation. The Politics of Education in Pre- and Post-Genocide Rwanda
    (Göttingen: Vandenhoek und Ruprecht, 2015) Bentrovato, Denise
    The book investigates the politics of education in pre- and post-genocide Rwanda, examining the actors, interests, and discourses that have historically influenced educational policy and practice and in particular the production and revision of history curricula and textbooks. This study combines a systematic historical and comparative analysis of curricula and textbooks in Rwanda, stakeholder interviews, classroom observations, and a large-scale investigation of pupils’ understandings of the country’s history. Written at a crucial time of transition in Rwanda, it illuminates the role of education as a powerful means of socialisation through which dominant discourses and related belief systems have been transmitted to the younger generations, thus moulding the nation. It outlines emergent challenges and possibilities, urging a move away from the use of history teaching to disseminate a conveniently selective official history towards practices that promote critical thinking and reflect the heterogeneity characteristic of Rwanda’s post-genocide society.
