Project Summary: Internationally, history education has been, and continues to be, a highly controversial element in curriculum change. In that context, this project compares and analyses the processes involved in developing national history curricula in Russia (a former dictatorship) and in Australia (a liberal democracy).
Summary
The Russian Federation recently introduced a national curriculum. Australia, a federal state, is developing a national curriculum. Because history deals with politically and socially controversial past events, history education has played, and continues to play, a contentious role in formulating overall curriculum policy and in creating national identity in each federation. As part of a recent and significant movement to globalise understandings of history education, this comparative project will examine four elements in each nation&rsquos construction of history education policy: policy formulation, curriculum documentation, textbook analysis and teacher disposition, using an intended/stated/enacted/realised curriculum analytical framework..
