What is didactics of history (today)?
Journal Title: Pedagogicka Orientace - Year 2011, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper focuses on the status of the discipline of didactics of history, of school history and in a wider context of field didactics of social sciences and humanities. The difference between a piece of information and fact about history as well as the difference of between popularising and didactic depicting of social (historical) reality are discussed. From these differences, one of the basic characteristics of these didactics is induced; an implicit openness to information of the system of their subject matter, which leads to an increase of the importance of interpretation. It is interpretation that must be seen as the central point of noetic and educational function of these didactics and the school subjects that they are connected to.
