In Austria, activities for teaching about and remembering the Holocaust have concentrated mainly on National Socialism and
its atrocities. Austria’s history of political anti-Semitism goes back to the 19th century, however, and has been widely and
publicly acknowledged. It has always been linked to nationalistic tendencies that are still present today and rarely reflected
upon, including the anti-Slavic and anti-Turkish attitudes that right-wing parties use to gain supporters. Vienna’s special
place of remembrance, the Heldenplatz, with its monuments and history, is a useful place to begin examining Austrian identities
and the course of collective Austrian ways of thinking. Based on that examination, we then consider Austria’s daily politics
and treatment of the past. We next turn to Holocaust education after the war, which has had an impressive impact after a late
start, and mention some of its drawbacks and problems. We next discuss the lack of serious research about memorials in Austria,
as compared with Germany, and present initial results from a project that started in spring 2009 to examine knowledge gains
and attitude changes among students after they visit the Mauthausen concentration camp. 相似文献

The injunction to learn from history is a key feature of German debates over the politics of memory and history, which, since
the end of World War II, have been seen primarily pedagogical. Thus, state schools were asked to serve as society’s central
location for memory and learning. Research on history education has rarely addressed questions about how instruction on the
history of National Socialism (NS) plays out in practice, about how ambitious educational goals are implemented at the level
of actual instruction, or about the challenges that teachers and students face when they are asked to address such a morally
fraught topic. This paper presents findings from a qualitative study that explored these issues using analyses of concrete
classroom experience. The paper is based on four carefully selected case studies. The first looks at how a contemporary account
of the issue and its moral implications are handled in the classroom. The second examines the consequences for classroom discussion
of a discrepancy between teacher expectations and student interpretations of an excerpt from Hitler’s Mein Kampf. The third also addresses a discrepancy, focusing on the institutionalized generation gap in school. Finally, the fourth
case shows how instructional communication benefits when participants assume a reciprocal, though not always articulated,
consensus opinion on NS. The interpretation of the cases illustrates how both the organizational framework of schools and
the specific conditions of classroom interaction shape the treatment of NS. Classroom interactions are strongly influenced
by the quirky, often unexpected, ways that students appropriate knowledge—ways that often conflict with the intended content
of the lesson and with public expectations for the treatment of Germany’s past. The analysis reveals a tension between the
under-moralization and the over-moralization of teaching the Holocaust, and a tension between the need to represent the crimes
of NS adequately, and to fulfill the goals of moral education. 相似文献

This discussion explores the role that storytelling and stories might have in leading children towards an awareness of uncertainty
and ambiguity in relation to Holocaust representation. It focuses on Morris Gleitzman’s Once (2006), its sequel Then (2008), and John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2006) to consider the narrative techniques used to draw young readers into an understanding of the Holocaust. In particular, the
discussion examines the role of silence within these narratives to suggest that a meaningful dialogue with silence is a crucial
aspect in communicating the fractured nature of Holocaust history. Literature aimed at a young audience engages explicitly
with the oft-cited injunction not to forget the Holocaust by setting out to inform a new generation of readers about the horrors
of the Nazi genocide. In my analysis of these texts, however, I want to consider whether we should assume that such works
do necessarily perform a progressive educative role. The article argues that the blunt didacticism of Boyne’s text might close
down possibilities for the child reader’s imaginative engagement with the ungraspable nature of the Holocaust. In contrast,
Gleitzman’s novels confront the child reader with a complex set of ideas about the relationship between narrative and subjectivity. 相似文献

The article considers how young people in Swiss schools are taught about the history and background of the Holocaust within
the wider perspective of human rights education, as an important basis for education concerning democratic citizenship. Given
the country’s specific history, for decades the Holocaust was not a matter of great interest in Swiss schools, or a topic
that pupils often learned about as a part of their own history. Recently, however, sensitivity about historical incidents
and the processes of the Third Reich has increased. Holocaust education has also become more important in the context of Swiss
state institutional policy and non-governmental initiatives and has also become an issue in schools. This article includes
an overview of relevant Swiss history and the current political situation, and a review of Swiss educational policies and
especially of activities related to Holocaust remembrance and human rights education. 相似文献

This study explored processes of curricular reinterpretation made by teachers who teach about the Holocaust. We conducted holistic narrative analyses of in-depth interviews with 31 American Holocaust educators. Six teaching orientations were identified: passionate historical, mythologizing-transforming, social-contemporizing, empathic-personalizing, riveting-shocking, and pragmatic-socializing. We offer vignettes for each orientation and compare them to other teaching perspective typologies, highlighting the novelty and utility of the presented typology. The findings demonstrate how narrative identity, meaning-making processes and teaching perspectives interconnect and lead teachers to reinterpret the Holocaust in their teaching. These findings have implications for teaching complex and value-laden topics. 相似文献

Holocaust education in England and Wales received a major boost in 1990 when, as part of the National Curriculum, it became a mandatory subject of study for all secondary aged students in the maintained sector. Many schools in the United States have also been teaching the Holocaust for some time (usually to students in grades 8 to 10), but in contrast to the United Kingdom the way the subject is taught has aroused considerable opposition. Among the more censorious of the critics was the historian, Lucy Dawidowicz, who examined a range of Holocaust curricula in 24 states and in New York City. Reporting her findings in Commentary in 1990 she castigated the majority of the curricula for their inadequate coverage of the history of anti-Semitism prior to Hitler (particularly its integral link with Christianity), role-play exercises likely to produce trauma, and the drawing of inappropriate parallels with other genocides. She said nothing, however, about the value of literature as a vehicle for learning about the Holocaust—a surprising omission in view of the prominent coverage it receives in the best known of the curricula Facing History and Ourselves.
Due to the paucity of research in this area, the editors would welcome letters from teachers who have used Holocaust literature in the classroom. 相似文献

This article analyzes the historical and political context of Holocaust education, and its implementation in Polish schools.
Perceptions of the Holocaust continue to change, influenced by Poland’s social and political situation. The Polish historical
context is quite specific; it includes the long history of Poles and Jews as neighbours, with local resentments and animosities,
and the Polish sense of being special victims of World War II and observers of the Nazis’ “final solution to the Jewish question”.
These different types of social awareness have neutralized the remembrance of the Holocaust and its presence in school education.
Similarly, the perception of the Holocaust in Polish schools has changed. Initially seen as just one element in the Nazis’
crimes against everyone in Poland, it is now understood as a singular phenomenon, the unparalleled mass extermination of the
Jewish nation. From this perspective, I analyze Holocaust education, and its status in the curriculum and in pedagogical practice.
I also report on my own research on the practice and meanings of Holocaust education in Polish public schools. Holocaust education
should not be limited to the pedagogical transfer of remembrance but should also be associated with transforming social awareness
and modern civic education. 相似文献

This community-based research investigated the relationship among Holocaust knowledge, Holocaust education experiences, and citizenship values in adults residing in the US. This study contributes to the literature an inferential investigation that reports positive civic attitudes associated with Holocaust education. A moderate correlation was identified, with approximately 10% of the variance in citizenship scores explained by Holocaust knowledge. Multiple regression analyses revealed Holocaust knowledge as the strongest predictor of citizenship values, followed by gender, suburban/urban childhood community, and learning about the Holocaust in school, respectively. Of eight unique Holocaust education experiences examined, learning about the Holocaust in school was the strongest predictor of citizenship values, followed by hearing a Holocaust survivor testimony in person or via electronic media, and visiting a Holocaust museum, respectively. Findings can inform Holocaust education policy, research, and practice, including the potential role of Holocaust curriculum in the larger context of moral and civic education. 相似文献

In the new science and technology junior-high-school curriculum in Israel, it is recommended that the cell topic be taught
“longitudinally in conjunction with other study contents”. This recommendation confers a change in teaching the cell topic
and provides an opportunity to form meaningful relationships between biological phenomena at the macro-level and their cellular
explanations. Here, we examine junior-high-school science and technology teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) with
regard to the cell topic and the formation of macro-micro relations, ten years following the publication of the change in
the curriculum. Teachers in this study participated in three focus groups (n = 59) and one workshop (n = 12). In addition, six experienced teachers were interviewed in the course of this study. Specific tools were developed
to capture the teachers’ PCK. We found that the teachers had changed their way of teaching the cell topic only superficially:
they did not undergo any deep change. Despite the importance the teachers placed on teaching and learning the cell topic,
their concerns about their students’ comprehension difficulties reduced the time they devoted to teaching the topic in class.
The teachers were also found to have no PCK capacity to integrate biological phenomena at the macro-level with their cellular
explanations. In addition, a duality was identified among the teachers with regards to relating macro- and micro-levels in
biology and in chemistry. 相似文献

AbstractPreparing students to be effective citizens is a longstanding goal of public education. Historical content provides illustrative opportunities for civic learning. Teaching about the Holocaust exemplifies this approach. Employing an experimental research design with 865 secondary school students, we analyze effects on civic outcomes from learning about the Holocaust through a school-sponsored trip to a Holocaust museum. We find that lessons about the Holocaust increase students’ support for civil liberties and deepen historical content knowledge, but decrease religious tolerance. High school students and those from college-educated households drive increases in support for civil liberties, and these students are more likely to donate to human rights causes as a result of the intervention. Middle school students and those from less-educated households drive the negative religious tolerance effect. These findings suggest that history lessons can produce meaningful impacts on civic educational outcomes. However, a stronger educational foundation that comes with engaging with challenging political issues may be a vital prerequisite to avoid undesirable consequences. 相似文献

In contrast to the situation in England and Wales, Holocaust education in Scotland is not mandatory and is not delivered to
every school student. Still, it is offered frequently. In this article we show how Scotland’s changing curriculum, the introduction
of Holocaust Memorial Day, and the Lessons from Auschwitz Project have contributed to the growth of Holocaust education in
Scotland over the last decade. We discuss the significance of each of these three factors, the impact of Holocaust education,
and the inter-related nature of their practice with relevant references to the English equivalent. We further examine the
role of Holocaust education at both the primary and secondary level, consider the challenges for Holocaust education in Scotland,
and conclude that although large numbers of students in Scotland are currently engaging with Holocaust education, these three
factors continue to play a vital role in its success. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact that involvement in an experiential learning programme for Holocaust education
had on college and university participants’ worldviews and civic leadership development. Results indicate that involvement
in specific elements of the programme did have an impact. The student-focused, experiential learning programme addressed in
this study was established in 2000. In 2001, the inaugural group of nearly 270 participants from 22 nations traveled to Poland
to familiarize themselves with the Holocaust. Students were exposed to programming on the Holocaust as a means to raise their
awareness and understanding of the events and to encourage their involvement in related programmes. The ultimate aim was to
develop future civic leaders who would become involved in educating their peers and communities about the tragedy of genocide. 相似文献

This article uses a socio-cultural approach to analyze the formation and implementation of Estonia’s Holocaust Day Policy,
a day of both commemoration for victims of the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity, and education about the Holocaust.
It investigates both the multi-level development of the policy in light of external pressure (from foreign advocates and transnational
groups including NATO and the Council of Europe) and the ways in which policy as normative discourse was constructed and its
meanings negotiated between international sources, the national government, and educators. It draws attention to the multifaceted
nature of discourse in a post-authoritarian context where power disparities further complicate an already complex trans-national
policy environment. 相似文献

This classroom ethnography examines the engagement of fifth-grade children in a year-long study of rights, respect, and responsibility,
which culminated in a focused study of tolerance and intolerance organized around literature regarding the Holocaust. A close
examination of one teacher’s approach to teaching about the Holocaust, the study highlights the importance of long-term engagements,
a layered curriculum that supports children in building understandings over time, and varied opportunities for making meaning
together. This approach included empathy-building, a focus on rescue and resistance and the bystander response, building a
knowledge base about the Holocaust, stories of individual experiences, and opportunities to make personal connections. Drawing
on samples of student talk, writing, and art, the article illustrates how children built upon academic and social practices
established from the first days of school to expand their repertoire of meanings, language, and actions of (in)tolerance,
gaining more complex understandings of the social, political, and moral implications of the Holocaust. Students in this bilingual
class also developed individual and social actions in speaking out against social injustice in their own communities. The
author argues that this classroom experience supported students as critical citizens who conscientiously and compassionately
participate in the day-to-day building of more equitable communities. 相似文献

In this essay, I seek to read the rhetorical theories set forth by Belgians Chaïm Perelman and Paul de Man as responses to the Holocaust. To accomplish this aspiration, I draw from Dominick LaCapra's framework for the analysis of trauma and its expression in historical and theoretical texts. Reading the rhetorical theories of Perelman and de Man, two of the most prominent of the twentieth century, through a lens of trauma theory allows critics to see them as post-war efforts to deal with the implications of the absence of meaning, the murder and loss of 25,257 Belgian Jews, Fascism, genocide, and de Man's collaboration with the Nazis. I argue that Perelman's rhetoric theory better “works-through” the Belgian Holocaust than the one offered by de Man because it offers a vision of reason that can yield justice and places collaborators in the “grey zone” of totalitarian societies and logical positivism, thereby offering de Man partial absolution for his endorsement of the German occupation and anti-Semitism. De Man's rhetorical theory appears to act out the Belgian Holocaust, for it rehearses the act of deconstruction, does not name its traumatic exigence, lacks the theoretical resources to deal with the material past, fails to offer better choices for the present, or provide a vision of the future. Reading rhetorical theories as responses to the exigences of trauma calls for a reconsideration of the contexts and motives driving the creation of the major rhetorical theories of the twentieth century, including those of Heidegger and Grassi. 相似文献

Research has shown the Holocaust to be the primary component of Jewish identity (Farago in Yahadut Zmanenu 5:259–285, 1989; Gross in Influence of the trip to Poland within the framework of the Ministry of Education on the working through of the
Holocaust. Unpublished M.A. thesis, Ben-Gurion University, Beer Sheva, 2000; Herman in Jewish identity: A socio-psychological perspective, Sage, Beverly Hills, 1977; Levy et al. in Beliefs, observations and social interaction among Israeli Jews. Louis Guttman Israel Institute of Applied
Social Research (Hebrew), Jerusalem, 1993; Ofer in Jews in Israel: Contemporary social and cultural patterns. Brandeis University Press, Hanover and London, pp. 394–417,
2004a) and to contribute significantly to Jewish Israelis’ sense of belonging to the Jewish people. Though the Holocaust is a central
event in Jewish history, Holocaust education is mandatory in the state education system in Israel, and some research has investigated
the impact of this education, the field has not been conceptualized systematically (Blatman in Bishvilei haZikaron 7:15–16,
1995; Feldman in Bishvilei haZikaron 7:8–11, 1995; Ofer in Jewish Educ 10:87–108, 2004b; Schatzker in Int J Polit Educ 5(1): 75–82, 1982). This article attempts to organize the existing knowledge on the subject through a meta-analysis of the foundations and
basic premises of Holocaust education in Israel, using the most important literature in the area. It first suggests a conceptual
framework, organizing by period the changing attitudes toward the Holocaust in general and Holocaust education in particular.
It then describes Holocaust education over the years, and finally analyzes the goals of Holocaust education, along with its
major dilemmas and challenges. 相似文献

Current reform-driven mathematics documents stress the need for teachers to provide learning environments in which students
will be challenged to engage with mathematics concepts and extend their understandings in meaningful ways (e.g., National
Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2000, Curriculum and evaluation standards for school mathematics. Reston, VA: The Council). The type of rich learning contexts that are envisaged by such reforms are predicated on a number
of factors, not the least of which is the quality of teachers’ experience and knowledge in the domain of mathematics. Although
the study of teacher knowledge has received considerable attention, there is less information about the teachers’ content
knowledge that impacts on classroom practice. Ball (2000, Journal of Teacher Education, 51(3), 241–247) suggested that teachers’ need to ‘deconstruct’ their content knowledge into more visible forms that would
help children make connections with their previous understandings and experiences. The documenting of teachers’ content knowledge
for teaching has received little attention in debates about teacher knowledge. In particular, there is limited information
about how we might go about systematically characterising the key dimensions of quality of teachers’ mathematics knowledge
for teaching and connections among these dimensions. In this paper we describe a framework for describing and analysing the
quality of teachers’ content knowledge for teaching in one area within the domain of geometry. An example of use of this framework
is then developed for the case of two teachers’ knowledge of the concept ‘square’. 相似文献

A crucial issue for prospective teachers (PTs) in their education is to develop pedagogical content knowledge (PCK; i.e. how
to make a topic comprehensible to pupils). However, research has shown that PTs may have tacit ideas about teaching that act
as filters preventing consideration of unfamiliar and discrepant ideas. These ideas must be elicited and taken into consideration
in order to be modified. Therefore, PTs’ explicit conceptions may constitute a valuable resource in teacher education. The
aim of this study was to investigate PTs’ ideas about pupils’ difficulties, at a topic-specific level, upon beginning the
teacher education programme. The “Lesson Preparation Method” was used in four case studies to elicit the conceptions of 32
PTs regarding pupils’ difficulties in four specific science and mathematics topics: plant growth, gases, equations and heat
and temperature. In all four topic groups (n = 5 – 11), there was a variety of initial conceptions about pupils’ difficulties, which were categorised into two to five
topic-specific categories. Although, initially, PTs may not have expressed any notions about pupils’ difficulties, conceptions
were elicited by using the Lesson Preparation Method. Furthermore, we found that the initial ideas corresponded with earlier
research on pupils’ difficulties, which could provide a potential resource when creating a scaffolding context in teacher
education programmes where PCK development is stimulated. 相似文献

This study examines young children’s ideas about natural science phenomena and explores possibilities in starting investigations
in kindergarten from their ideas. Given the possibilities inherent in how young children make sense of their experiences,
we believe it is critical to take children’s perspectives into consideration when designing any activities, and ideally, to
design activities from their perspectives and understandings. Specifically, this research focuses on 5- and 6-year old children’s explanations of
rainbows, and there are three main findings. First, our analysis demonstrates that opportunities to discuss their ideas revealed
children’s different perceptions of the phenomena of rainbows. Secondly, this research emphasizes that peer-to-peer interaction
in the co-construction of science concepts provided support to the children to learn from, and with, each other. Third, children’s initial explanations provided the teacher-researcher (second author) with a starting point
to scaffold her teaching from. Although rainbows are quite an abstract topic to try to reproduce in the classroom, the children
demonstrated their often sophisticated understandings of natural science phenomena, as well as their creative ideas as related
to rainbows. In order to foster an appreciation of themes in natural science, it is crucial to build from what children already
know and can do, and to use these emergent theories and considerations in designing curriculum. Thus, we draw implications
for the importance of teaching science at the early childhood level and for using children’s ideas as starting points in planning
instruction. 相似文献

In the past, many Australian state schools avoided teaching about values explicitly. However, the Australian government released
Australia’s first official values education policy in 2005: the National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools (NFVEAS). This framework represents a local manifestation of the recent international values education movement. This study
contributes to an exploration of what, and who, the government’s construction of Australian values privileges. It uncovered
the dominant discourses inherent in the framework through a critical discourse analysis, framing it in relation to the 16
key values education approaches identified in the literature. The data revealed the document’s strong privileging of conservative
values education discourses, particularly civics and citizenship education, values inculcation and character education. In
practice, some Australian schools have been disrupting this move to conservatism by taking more critical and postmodern approaches.
The paper argues for such alternative practices and policy that is more diversified and student-centred. 相似文献
