Historical Thinking Concepts
Students are regularly expected to learn about history without being asked to think historically. Thinking historically requires attending to the kinds of questions that historians pose. These questions typically focus on six concepts:
- Historical Significance: What and who should be remembered, researched and taught?
- Evidence and Interpretation: Is the evidence credible and adequate to support the conclusions reached?
- Continuity and Change: How are lives and conditions alike over time and how have they changed?
- Cause and Consequence: Why did historical events happen the way they did and what are the consequences?
- Historical Perspective: What does past look like when viewed through lenses of the time?
- Ethical Judgment: Is what happened right and fair?
