- Description
- This paper explores the narrative data collected as part of the Remembering Australia's Past (RAP) project. History teacher education students were invited to respond to the statement: Tell us the history of Australia in your own words. In the analysis of the submitted narratives we aim to explore how history teacher education students engage with the topics of the Gallipoli (First World War) and Kokoda (Second World War) military campaigns. From the 97 responses received, this paper analyses the twelve participant responses from those who included both the Gallipoli and Kokoda military campaigns as examples of key events in Australia's history, to determine the historical knowledge and type of representations that were included in their narratives. The results indicate that the national narratives of these pre-service teachers were significantly impacted by their high school history studies and their lived experiences.
