ECTS CREDITS 4

 
DEPARTMENT Languages and Humanities Education

 
DESCRIPTION This study area hopes to empower student teachers as agents of change for a more just educational system where every person is valued for what s/he is and where everyone feels s/he belongs. The emphasis of this study area is on the development of individual programming the sharing of abilities, peer tutoring, team building, the celebration of diversity and solidarity amongst peers (student, pupils, teachers).

At the same time at different times in history there have been particular groups who have been unconsciously or deliberately marginalised and left out from mainstream historical narrative. These include certain social classes, races, ethnic minorities and of course women. These people have been 'hidden from history'. In this study area we examine this worldwide phenomenon as well as specifically what has happened in the Maltese context. Criteria for checking the gender, class or cultural bias in history textbooks and lessons will be explored. There will also be a discussion on how inclusive history can be promoted in our schools.
