Again! History Education: World History Edition
Again! History Education: World History Edition
Description
Book Introduction
Written by a professor and a current teacher
A guidebook on the theory and practice of research and teaching methods for world history!


Hidden within the events, cultures, ideas, and institutions of humanity's past are clues that illuminate the situations and problems we face today, such as the development of the internet, smartphones, artificial intelligence, and big data, as well as historical and religious conflicts and fake news.
This book was designed to teach world history through precisely that kind of 'understanding of humanity.'


The title of this book, "Again! History Education?", suggests a renewed approach to history education in line with the changing educational environment. Recognizing the current lack of specialized textbooks tailored to world history majors for prospective history teachers, the book combines the in-depth historical research of professors specializing in content history with the vivid teaching experience of current teachers. This approach, breaking away from the existing focus on history teaching methods, encompasses a deeper understanding of historical content and research into textbooks.


Through this, not only prospective teachers, but also current teachers and a wide range of readers interested in world history education will be able to expand the depth of world history content as well as learn the latest teaching methods.

Publisher's Review
“World History Class: Only Methods, No Textbooks!”

Now, the first specialized textbook that encompasses both the theory and practice of world history education has been published.

While various teaching methods have been introduced in the field of history education, there has been little research on teaching materials and teaching methods that teachers can directly utilize in world history classes.
"Again! History Education, World History" was created to fill this gap by combining the in-depth historical research of a specialist professor with the vivid teaching experience of a practicing teacher.
This book offers meaningful reflections on world history education in general, cutting-edge theories and methods tailored to the specific needs of world history education, and 12 vivid classroom examples, demonstrating the authors' efforts to integrate theory and practice.

World history is an important window through which we can reflect on the path humanity has taken to understand humanity, as well as on the problems of today and the challenges of tomorrow.
This book covers the entire process of teaching world history, from textbook analysis to lesson design. It will serve as a reliable guide for prospective teachers, a new teaching resource for current teachers, and a window into human history for all readers interested in world history education.
