Peering at History through Different Lenses: The Role of Disciplinary Perspectives in Teaching History

Wilson, Suzanne M., Wineburg, Samuel S.·1988·Teachers College Record: The Voice of Scholarship in Education

Abstract

FRED: We really have to convey to the kids that the Depression wasn’t just 1929 and the stock market crash. It had a profound impact on the lives of all Americans. Let’s have them read parts of The Grapes of Wrath, maybe even look at some of Lange’s photographs of migrant workers. Reading Steinbeck is great! If they don’t understand the impact of the landyou know, the dust storms and the droughtsthey’ll miss the main point. The main point? Now wait just a second. The economic and political issues of the thirties were just as important, if not more so, than the Dust Bowl. The stock market crash, buying on margin, FDR’s economic reforms-how can you even think about teaching the Depression without emphasizing capitalism? Sorry folks, but you’re all missing the point. How does this stuff relate to the lives of the kids? What difference does the Depression make if the kids can’t see how it affected their lives? Relevance that’s the key!

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
