Historical Thinking Project
The Historical Thinking Project was designed to foster a new approach
to history education — with the potential to shift how teachers teach
and how students learn, in line with recent international research on
history learning. It revolves around the proposition that historical
thinking — like scientific thinking in science instruction and
mathematical thinking in math instruction — is central to history
instruction and that students should become more competent as historical
thinkers as they progress through their schooling.The project developed a framework of six historical thinking concepts to provide a way of communicating complex ideas to a broad and varied audience of potential users.
