Learning Objects are online! Miriam Hannig (University of Augsburg)

The consortium of the EHISTO-project is happy to announce that the transnational

Learning Objects focused on intercultural and media-critical matters are now

available online!

The six EHISTO-project-partners from Spain, England, Sweden, Poland and Ger-

many have worked together to create twelve motivating Learning Objects with

interactive elements on the two European History Crossroads (EHC) “Columbus

and the ‘Discovery’ of the ‘New World’” and ”The ‘outbreak’ of World War One”.

At first, the EHISTO-partners found out the basic tendencies of the national views

on the topics analysing schoolbooks. Then they chose two popular history maga-

zines for each EHC. For the analysis they used front pages, indexes, editorials,

photo series and articles. These documents are the basis for the creation of teach-

ing-material which opens an European reflection for the chosen topic using a multi

-perspective and comparative approach that in the same time supports intercultur-

al and media-critical competences. Generally it`s the didactical goal of the Learn-

ing Objects that the learners detect communalities as well as differences compar-

ing the national historical cultures in Europe and by that verge to the transnational

European culture of history. This shall raise the learners’ awareness for others

than the well-known national point of view on relevant Euro-

pean historical events and shall initiate a step towards

awareness, recognition and understanding of the ”others”.

The change of the perspective and the understanding of oth-

er European nations are practised using the depictions of the

popular history magazines: the material that has been trans-

lated in the languages of the project partners can be directly

used for bilingual and bilateral comparisons in the classroom.

By doing this, multi-perspective learning will develop and

learners will be able to verge the challenges of the European

shared history.

To allow teachers and pupils from different European count-

ries to work with the concept of ”European History Cross-

roads” each Learning Object is provided with:

a brief outline of the tendencies which influence the to-

pic’s presentation in the relevant national history books;

experts from the countries in question wrote these texts,

which serve to unravel any tendencies in the chosen

magazine articles and make them understandable in the

national contexts.

possible tasks:

for critical thinking about the chosen national magazi-

ne articles, in terms of contents and media features

for a bilateral, international comparison with the

focus on ”media criticism”

for a bilateral, international comparison with the

focus on ”transnational and intercultural historical

learning”

additional material.

There is a national and a bilateral access to each EHC. In the

same time, the Learning Objects allow teachers and students

in every country involved to carry out as many comparative

studies as they want to – in transnational, media-critical and

intercultural ways. They can choose freely which national

perspectives they wish to compare. A ”multi-perspective”

learning space emerges, in which they can explore Europe’s

”shared history” by comparing national magazines and

schoolbooks. The material provided by EHISTO is especially

suitable for project-based learning and learning in combined

subjects.

The Learning Objects presented were created for different

sets of age:

While the topic ”Columbus” was created for pupils aged 12 to

14 years, the tasks on ”The ‘outbreak‘ of World War One”

cater roughly to students aged 14 to 16 years.

Since EHISTO is an European project, it is not possible to go

into particulars about all the different national educational

systems. Therefore the learning materials presented are not

created for each and every history classroom in Europe.

Rather the tasks should serve as suggestions for teachers in

order to create their own questions and targets creatively for

their lessons. Furthermore, the suggestions should motivate

teachers to develop and use their own ideas based on the

EHC-materials.

For all material free access is granted on the website of the

project:

EHISTO consortium — Second meeting, Łódź (Poland)

EHISTO Newsletter #2

Second EHISTO-project meeting from 27 - 30 October 2013 in Łódź From 27 – 30 October 2013 the project partners of the EU-project "European History Crossroads as Pathways to Intercultural and Media Education" (EHISTO) met upon the invitation from the Augsburg-based project coordinator Prof. Dr. Susanne Popp (Chair of History Didactics) for the second project meeting in Łódź, Poland. Joanna Szczecińska M.A. from the Academy of Management Łódź hosted the meeting. In addition to the researchers mentioned above further researchers from the University of Salamanca (Spain), the University of Dalarna (Sweden), the University of East Anglia (UK) as well as the Institute for Film and Pictures in Science and Education, Germany (FWU) in Grünwald are also involved in the project. In particular it is worthy to point out that the partner schools' teachers also attended the meeting.

Objectives

The EHISTO-project's object of research are popular history magazines, which deal with the two "European History Crossroads" agreed upon at the kick-off meeting, namely "Columbus and the 'Discovery' of the 'New World'" and "The 'outbreak' of World War One". This commercialised form of representing history is supposed to exhibit national tendencies of looking at history in the respective countries, but also transnational commonalities. Both aspects together form the foundation required to initiate intercultural and media-critical learning in history education.

Digital Learning Objects with great practical relevance for history education in schools

During the conference digital Learning Objects were presented, which were devel-oped by the individual academic experts in close collaboration with the respective teachers of the EHISTO partner schools. For this purpose, every partner country developed one module each for the "European History Crossroad" "Columbus" and for "The ‘outbreak’ of the World War One". The Institute for Film and Pictures in Sci-ence and Education, Germany (FWU) took on the technical implementation thereby ensuring attractive tasks with interactive opportunities. Subsequently, the teachers examined the modules critically before testing them in their respective classes. Aligned with their individual curriculums the teachers collectively developed two

transnational units each, which successfully complemented the tasks focusing on "national perspective", "media-critical analysis" as well as "international comparison". In communi-cating with the teachers it became clear that the didactical value of the learning portfolio lies in the tasks which are avail-able in Polish, German, Spanish, Swedish and English. It is also very important that the national magazines (magazine articles, covers and picture galleries) are available in all part-ner languages and that the translations appear in the original layout. Intercultural, transnational and media-critical learning in history education can be aimed at in the best way only if these large efforts are fulfilled.

University seminars – sustainable im-plementation the EHISTO-project in university education

The following conference day was devoted to the implemen-tation of intercultural, transnational and media-critical history education by means of popular history magazines within the university training of history teachers. For this purpose, the Chair of History Didactics at Augsburg University (Prof. Dr. Susanne Popp and Miriam Hannig) has developed a semi-nar, which was piloted and evaluated in Augsburg during the winter term 2013/2014. It particularly focuses on:

a) developing critical competences in dealing with popular history magazines

b) magazine analysis (with the help of history didactical criteria)

c) enabling the students to independently develop competence-oriented tasks.

This should help the students to integrate further "European History Crossroads" in their history lessons by means of pop-ular history magazines.

The other university project partners also implemented and evaluated the proposed concept with their students. After including the gained feedback in the seminar manual it will be available as free download on the project homepage.

Teacher training – sustainable implementa-tion the EHISTO-project in schools

The concept of teacher training is the third key topic of the EHISTO-project besides the development of Learning Ob-jects and the concept of the university seminar. According-ly, researchers primarily from Salamanca University (Spain) developed a manual which, much as the university seminar manual, is available as free download on the project home-page. In addition to the actual organisational outline of the teacher training the manual also features working material

and a comprehensive bibliography, which encourages in depth engagement with the topic. As is the case with the Learning Objects and the university seminar, all documents for the teacher training are available in all project lan-guages.

Evaluation and dissemination

The evaluation of the individual key areas – reaching from Learning Objects to the university seminar to teacher training – played a great role in Łódź. The researchers of the Acade-my of Management Łódź presented the evaluation sheets which are to be used for feedback. The evaluation results of the manuals and modules will contribute to improvement. The researchers from the University of East Anglia will focus on the university seminar and the researchers from the Uni-versity of Dalarna on the concept of teacher training.

This ensures the practical relevance of the EHISTO results for all participating countries, the European relevance of the created documents and learning assignments as well as their integration into national curricula, training concepts and study regulations.

Prospects

During the following months the Learning Objects and the concept of the university seminar, but also the manual for teacher training presented at the conference were tested, evaluated and subsequently improved by the project part-ners. In May 2014 the final versions were presented at the third meeting of the EHISTO-project in Salamanca, Spain. The report of the Salamanca meeting will follow in the next newsletter.

Until 2014 the EHISTO-project is funded by the European Union as part of the "Lifelong Learning Programme" (LLP) with an amount of roughly 300.000 Euro.

EHISTO-project in

TEEM 2013 Conference

The Research GRoup in InterAction and eLearning (GRIAL,

http://grial.usal.es), in collaboration with the Research Institu-

te of Educational Sciences (http://iuce.usal.es), held the First

International Conference on Technological Ecosystems for

Enhancing Multiculturality (TEEM 2013, http://

teemconference.eu) at the University of Salamanca, from

November 14th to 16th, 2013.

The main aim of this event was the research, discussion and

generation of new approaches regarding learning as a key

element for the Knowledge Society. This involved the deve-

lopment of several thematic areas or “tracks” for facing multi-

culturality from different perspectives, including:

- Education Assessment and Orientation

- Human-Computer Interaction

- eLearning

- Computers in Education

- Communication Media and Education

- Medicine and Education

- Robotics in Education

- Engineering and Education

- Information Society and Education

The Conference promoted also a fruitful space for presenting

and discussing different projects related to the topics invol-

ved within the meeting. During the November 16th session,

Valentina Zangrando, from the University of Salamanca and

Researcher of EHISTO-project, presented EHISTO-project

as a milestone for gaining multicultural and media critical

approaches in education, particularly in teaching and learning

History in the Secondary School level.

The conference has been transmitted via web streaming. The

video recording of the presentations and the proceedings are

available at http://teemconference.eu.

Katja Gorbahn is EHISTO consul-

tant based in Denmark. She cur-

rently holds a post as assistant

professor at the Institute for Aes-

thetics and Communications at

Aarhus University and specializes

in didactics of history. Her re-

search interests include identity in

history teaching, history in popular

culture and textbook analysis. Cur-

rently, she is working on the repre-

sentation of the Second World

War in popular culture and history

teaching. Focusing on Germany and Denmark, this research

project comprises the analysis of popular history magazines.

“I find the EHISTO project extremely exciting. Its trans-

national perspective offers great opportunities to overcome a

national bias in history teaching, which is of special relevance

in the current European crisis. In general, popular history

magazines are a very interesting medium. Comparing them

with school textbooks offers deeper insights in the character

of popular history culture, respectively history teaching. Dis-

cussing the magazines' intersections and interactions with

other media can contribute to a richer understanding of inter-

mediality in history culture. Analyzing texts from popular his-

tory magazines can strengthen the students' competences of

critical understanding. Therefore, it is my conviction that both

pupils and teachers can profit substantially from working with

history magazines. Personally, I am glad about the opportuni-

ty to take part in this project and to get a deeper insight in the

history cultures and history teaching practices of the coun-

tries participating.”

EHISTO partner: FWU - Institute for Film and

Pictures in Science and Education, Germany

Susanne Friz (FWU)

FWU (Institute for Film and Pic-

tures in Science and Education) is

Germany’s leading producer of

audiovisual, didactic, and interac-

tive media for schools. It was

founded in 1950 as a non-profit

corporation with the 16 German

"Länder" (federal states) as share-

holders.

FWU produces educational films, didactic DVDs and learning software as well as

internet applications. It was the first producer of educational DVDs in Germany,

making didactic use of new picture, audio and scene selection features which are

part of the DVD standard. It keeps on stock approximately 2.200 titles for almost

all school subjects and cross-area topics, as well as fictional movies for children

and young people. All productions are accompanied by comprehensive hand-

books for teachers and educators. Every year about 60-65 new titles are distribu-

ted. To make it easier for schools in using the media in the classroom, FWU has

produced its own media portal (www.fwu-mediathek.de) with 4.400 online media

including sequences, pictures, animations/simulations and worksheets. Students

and teachers can either work online with the media or can download them.

Apart from the production of media it is a major objective for FWU to provide inde-

pendent information and consultancy on all pedagogical and technical questions

regarding educational media, both on linear and interactive concepts and the use

of telecommunication for learning. FWU therefore provides new services to the

federal states in Germany concerning media-pedagogic issues, the electronic dis-

tribution of media to schools directly and the start-up and operation of media-

platforms. The technical and organisational possibilities have been tested in the

past in projects and have now been applied to the constant use.

FWU was chosen in 1999 to co-ordinate different educational servers and estab-

lish a common internet portal for resource locators and school information. This

includes integrated catalogues of any type of resources, on-line and off-line. FWU

is co-founder of the German Eduserver (Deutscher Bildungsserver/DBS; http://

www.eduserver.de/) and - since 2001 - is responsible for the content of the sector

”school”. The DBS contains about 30,000 educational metadata records, linking to

external resources, e.g. on school servers. The metadata is stored conforming to

Dublin Core. Links can be suggested to editors by teachers.

FWU is co-ordinator of several national projects and programmes and a service

centre for public and private institutions. FWU is en-

gaged in national and international pilot projects on

media-pedagogic issues. Current emphasis lies on dy-

namic navigation techniques for supporting learning and

teaching as a process. It is co-coordinator of several

national projects or programmes and was partner of

some EU projects (Eurodelphes, MDE, ETB, Scalex,

eCOLOURS, EdReNe, MELT, ASPECT, EHISTO).

Take part in EHISTO The EHISTO-project aims to

create an ever growing net-

work of institutions and indi-

viduals interested in EHISTO

to be constantly developed

EHISTO-partner school: Hellesdon, England

Liz Kelleway and Margaret Taylor

(Hellesdon High School)

We have been very pleased as a department to be involved

in the EHISTO-project. We all feel that popular history maga-

zines have the potential to improve history teaching in a

range of ways, but it is quite challenging to think how best to

make use of them with pupils of different ages and abilities,

given the length and quite difficult reading levels of the most

popular history magazines in the UK (BBC History Magazine

and History Today). Involvement in the project has also made

us realise that as a department, we have not perhaps made

as much use of history magazine articles as we might have

done.

The Łódź seminar was an excellent opportunity to develop

our ideas about the use of popular history magazines. As well

as the chance to get to see something of Łódź (which was

really interesting), it was great to get the chance to talk to

teachers from other countries who face the same teaching

challenges. In England, teachers get very little opportunity to

meet up with colleagues form other schools, so this was a

rare treat, not least because we were able to discuss the dif-

ferences in history teaching across the countries involved.

The chance to compare accounts of the causes of World War

One from different European countries, as represented in

popular history magazines, is particularly valuable, given the

centenary of this event next year. We should add that the

project is an excellent example of the potential of such Euro-

pean collaborations to improve educational outcomes. We

also feel that we met a lot of very nice people.

Workpackage 6: Piloting and finalizing teaching material

and teacher manuals

The Universidad de Salamanca (Spain), as responsible work-

package (WP) leader, coordinates the practical applications of

the results of the already designed Learning Objects. In each

partner country pilot schools implemented and piloted the

material in history classes. To ensure a close and effective

cooperation between researchers and schools, the EHISTO-

teachers took part at the meeting in Łódź (Poland). Informed

about the overall idea of EHISTO and equipped with ideas

about the implementation and the piloting process, the teach-

ers tested the Learning Objects with their classes before they

processed questionnaires, which were collected and summa-

rized by the Spanish WP-leader. The feedback from pupils

and teachers were implemented in the online Learning Ob-

jects in order to provide the highest possible user-friendliness.

Workpackage 7: Piloting and finalizing module and guide

for initial teacher training

All partners working in the field of academic teacher training

implemented the initial teacher training according to the mo-

dule handbook in their academic teaching in the winter term

2013/14. The training was evaluated using questionnaires

developed by the Polish Academy of Łódź. The experiences

gained in the piloting phase were collected and turned into a

report. The partners exchanged experiences and discussed

changes concerning the structure of the module or the content

of the module handbook. The University of East Anglia, as

WP-leader, added the changes to the handbook, which will be

available as an online download in all project languages. The

internal project presentation took place during the third mee-

ting in Salamanca (Spain) in month 21.

Workpackage 8: Piloting and finalizing teaching material

and teacher manuals

In Germany, Sweden, England, Poland and Spain, an one to

two day lasting in-service teacher training was offered at the

Universities. During this “EHISTO”-training seminar, the hand-

book from WP 5 has been tested. Similar to WP 6 and 7, WP

8 was evaluated using special questionnaires, which were

designed by the Polish EHISTO-team. Based on these re-

sults, the researchers of the Swedish University edited the in-

service teacher training, which were presented – as final ver-

sion – at the third meeting in Salamanca (Spain).

Announcement: Final meeting and presentation of the

results

The coordinators and all partners of the EHISTO-project are

really pleased to announce that the final EHISTO-conference

is linked to the annual conference of the International Society

For History Didactics (ISHD)! With the topic “history and edu-

tainment” – a combination of education and entertainment –

great synergies can be exploited. The EHISTO-final confer-

ence will host two panels, which will contribute lectures with

the thematic focus of:

1) the state of the art of research on popular history maga-

zines as a part of “history edutainment world” – with spe-

cial focus on transnational and intercultural comparative

perspectives

2) learning opportunities and empirical research results

about the usability of popular history magazines in the

history classroom.

Both panels will present research results directly out of the

EHISTO-project.

Within the most important international conference in the field

of history didactics, the EHISTO-consortium is proud to pre-

sent their outcomes and to make EHISTO even more interna-

tionally well-known. Furthermore, a final publication will in-

clude the results of the European EHISTO-project to reach

sustainability and to provide connecting factors for further

projects.

The EHISTO-final conference will take place in Wroclaw,

Poland, from 9th to 11th of September 2014.
