- Description
- As contemporary history sources, historical feature films serve to link the school and the world of the students. The films’ multi-modality endows them with a currency that is often lacking in other teaching resources, and as such can provide a welcomed change from printed text. This paper reports the findings of an Australian research project that investigated teacher perceptions, understandings and practices concerning historical feature film in the history classroom using survey, interview and classroom case studies methodologies. The project concluded that historical feature films offer unique and rich opportunities to explore historical knowledge as contested, problematic and interpretative. However, the research indicated that these opportunities were often neglected in practice due to limited pedagogical approaches that failed to effectively integrate and interrogate the filmic representations. This paper culminates with the presentation of the pedagogical recommendations of the study for the use historical feature film in the teaching of history.
