Firstly, to better prepare for the future, we need to understand the past. Secondly, to develop critical thinking skills ]]> 2022-11-23 23:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088262 Yes https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088507 Using history to understand how we can improve and evolve (learn from mistakes in the past or build on past knowledge). ]]> 2022-11-23 23:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088507 It is necessary but the content is important. We had history of Quebec for 4years and only 1 to year of world history. https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088606 2022-11-23 23:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088606 My history class was to mainly give students a good understanding of Canadian history (only section with a government exam) https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088665 2022-11-23 23:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088665 https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088675 I never liked history classes growing up. It felt like just remembering names and dates. I avoided taking “history” specific classes even in undergrad, even though pretty much my whole program was taught from an inherently historical & political lens. I wish I learned how to critically think in my history classes! ]]> 2022-11-23 23:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088675 https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088783 I had history as a high school student and often questioned the need for the class. Now I understand why understanding history helps inform our present reality. That being said, I don’t think that the present curriculum or pedagogy for teaching history makes this any clearer for current students.]]> 2022-11-23 23:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088783 https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088821 To learn what it means to be human, and how we can make change to make people’s lives better.]]> 2022-11-23 23:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396088821 Yes, I've had history class. Most of the history I have learnt has been about Quebec. My understanding is that it was to create a sense of Quebecois identity. I believe history class is especially important for shedding light on current reality and making sense of our circumstances. https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396089283 2022-11-23 23:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396089283 https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396089439 I had a very passionate history teacher which made history class great. He informs us (through wwI, ww2 etc) that human beings are nasty to each others which help us to become aware of the past, and how it informs current events and the further. ]]> 2022-11-23 23:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/yhu4687/ovt8gn3yq8dxg0fi/wish/2396089439
