ABSTRACT

This paper examines two research questions: How do teachers refer to historical figures when teaching difficult past events? Which approaches to teaching difficult past events are reflected in teachers’ ways of talking about historical figures?

The paper is based on an analysis of lessons by three 11^th grade history teachers in Israel on the controversial Altalena Affair. Each teacher assigned a different role to the historical figures. We argue that awareness of the relationship between the way teachers present historical figures and the way they handle controversial events may provide them with a tool for reflecting on their teaching practice.

战斗，飞行或轻击：教导过去困难事件的三种方法

摘要

本文研究了两个研究问题：教师在教授过去的困难事件时如何参考历史人物？老师讲述历史人物的方式反映了哪些教学方法来处理过去的困难事件？

本文是基于三个11的经验教训分析^个年级历史教师在以色列在有争议的Altalena事理。每个老师给历史人物分配了不同的角色。我们认为，认识到教师展示历史人物的方式与他们处理有争议事件的方式之间的关系可能为他们提供了反思其教学实践的工具。
