First Published in 2001. This guide sets out to prepare primary teacher training students to teach history well -whatever the topic or aspect of the Programme of Study. It also provides opportunities and encouragement for students to develop their own personal subject knowledge of history. The course content is covered in nine chapters. Each chapter begins with a statement of its learning outcomes and lists the materials that are needed to complete the work of the chapter and achieve these objectives.
