Gustavson's "A Preface To History" (Teaching) / Analytical Reflections
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing and analyzing Carl Gustavson's classic text on how history has been mis-taught, and how it could be taught more effectively to increase our understanding and retention of it. Gustavson's contention is that most people have been taught history illogically. Rather than seeing the subject as simply the earlier stage of development of a current situation, they plunge in and begin trying to tie names to dates to places to events, without any frame of reference or particular goals in mind (other than passing the course!). No other sources cited.
