3rd revised and updated edition. Action-oriented approaches in history education are used either as a teaching method or as a method of historical learning. This volume brings together these disparate uses. An action-oriented lesson can provide students with ways to bridge the gap between the present and the past and learn historically. The presented teaching examples utilize common media in history education - language, texts, and images - and demonstrate how they can be used in an action-oriented manner. The practical section concludes with examples of model building in history education.
