Att se historia : En undersökning av några högstadielärares användning av medier i sin historieundervisning

Sammanfattning: It is said that we live in a society of communication, or a society of media, even. If that is true, that everyday live is affected by media, then the children of our society are also affected, and so is school. The purpose of this study was to see how four different teachers use media in their history education to spread knowledge about history to their pupils and to make them more historically aware. In doing so I was hoping that I, and others, can make use of their methods and experience of using media in the education. The results of this study shows that teachers seem to find pictures the best and most important media for pupils to understand history better. The teachers also all seem to think media in the history education can have a greatly positive impact on the pupils’ understanding of history.
