Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The theory and practice of historical research in education are the twin emphases in this course. Such conceptual issues as the meaning and logic of history, the problem of causation, the perils of generalization, and the centrality of interpretation are analyzed. Such methodological topics as those related to the collection, verification, and organization of historical evidence are studied. The works of major 20th century American educational historians are examined for the purpose of developing some perspective on the process of writing history.
