| The Workshop by Dr. Tuvia Friling
parallels the various stages of research followed by the professional historian:
obsevation, focus on a particular event, colection and classification of source material,
reconstruction and analysis of the event, drawing conclusions, evaluation, and writing a
scholarly paper. Among the workshop goals:
Understanding the Deep Structure of History
Recognizing the discipline's potential for cultivating advanced cognitive skills.
Applying the latest research technologies to the study of History.
Presenting research results in a multimedia environment.
For the past four years the workshop has been taught in dozens of Israeli
schools from the fourth grad to senior year high school. The program fits a wide range of
curricula for enriching the pupils research skills. It has been used effectively in the
seventh grade My Family's Roots project; the tenth grade Second Temple curriculum; and the
eleventh grade program for research papers in the humanities and social sciences. |
