New model revolutionizes history education by embedding skills into source analysis.
The paper introduces a new model for analyzing history in schools, focusing on South Africa. It combines historical skills and concepts with different types of sources to help students understand cause and effect, chronology, and different aspects of history like social, economic, and political events. The model includes a taxonomy of questions and suggests using various sources in the classroom. The paper also discusses different theories in history to support the model. Overall, the Historically Imbedded Source-Based Analysis Model could be beneficial for teaching history in schools.
