Issues in History Teaching is a book that discusses all relevant issues relating to history education. While the book does not achieve this goal, it does offer a view into history education in England and Wales. The authors’ attempt to review the book is not chapter-by-chapter but rather they consider the text as an indication of the state of history education in England and Wales. They discuss the introduction to the book and also some peculiarities in history education in the UK that they have drawn from the text. There were two main issues. The first is that it is different than other teaching of history in the world as it focuses on the need for children to understand history, not learn a particular story. The second issue is that the articles in the book focus more on theory than practice. The authors continue with a discussion of the research, stating that often research is not cited, and methodologies often not explained. The authors continue with a discussion on the conceptual matters and problems, broken into two sections: skills and concepts, which are often spoken about generally; and specific concepts which include significance, interpretations and knowledge. Another important aspect of the book is a concern with progression as it is how history education is thought of which is disputed in England and Wales. The authors continue with a discussion of the development of history in the curriculum. There are three chapters in the book that focus on the insight of the inspectors of the Queen on history education. It provides great examples of what good practice looks like in secondary history education in England and Wales. The authors conclude the article on how the book addresses practical matters reflectively.
