The international symposium, The processes of history teaching in compulsory schools, was launched in Malmö in March 2009. The symposium emphasized multi-disciplinary and international aspects as well as issues concerning practice in the teaching of history. The composition of the researchers invited to participate in the symposium created an interesting meeting between the more philosophical, historical didactical Germanic approach and the Anglo-Saxon history teaching tradition that focuses on school work and learning.
In this anthology, most of the thought-provoking conference presentations are now available for you to study.
