Abstract

Critiques of the historical skills approach
are reviewed and recent empirical re-
search on the effects of this approach on
the learning of historical thought is synthe-
sized. A comparison is proposed of the ef-
fectiveness of this approach in this respect
compared to that of teaching centered on

the already constructed narrative of the
teacher.
