- W848204944 abstract "This thesis is an exploratory study of students' understandings about the nature ofaccounts in history, and teachers' assumptions about those ideas. The study wasdesigned to achieve two related objectives: first, to explore and map out the range ofideas students in Singapore may hold about the nature of historical accounts, andsecond, to examine the assumptions teachers in Singapore may have about theirstudents' understandings.Sixty-nine students (fifty in Year 9 and nineteen in Year 12) across nine institutionscompleted two written task-sets designed to generate data on students' ideas aboutaccounts. Group interviews were conducted with all students. 93 teachers respondedto a questionnaire survey designed to explore teachers' ideas about students'understanding of accounts. In-depth interviews with nine teachers were carried out tosupplement questionnaire data. Data analysis of students' ideas pointed to a broadrange of student conceptions about accounts, and to the possibility of viewing theseconceptions progressively across a 'factual-multiple-criterial' continuum. Analysisof data that focused on teachers' assumptions about students' ideas revealed thepossibility of viewing students' conceptions in 'simple' to 'complex' terms, rangingprogressively from (i) static and binary, to (ii) subjective and perspectiveful, and to(iii) dynamic and multi-dimensional.This thesis makes the argument that approaching the teaching of school history in aresponsive way requires that Singapore teachers recognize the range ofpreconceptions that students hold about accounts. Specifically, this is done by engaging students' ideas to help them make sense of new knowledge and developtheir disciplinary understandings about history. The implications these findings haveon planning, research, assessment and practice are discussed in the context of ahistory pedagogy that is both receptive to an understanding of the methodologicalunderpinnings of the discipline, and responsive to the notion of developing students'understandings of historical knowledge." @default.
