N2 - ‘Big history’ is a term receiving
a great deal of attention at
present, particularly in North
America where considerable
sums of money have been
invested in designing curricula
and assessment tools to help
teachers teach history at far
larger scales of time than
normal. Hawkey considers the
pros and cons of incorporating
components of ‘big history’ into
history curricula , recognising
some of the limitations of the
approach, but nevertheless
finding important ideas upon
which history teachers might
draw. In particular, Hawkey
identifies three ways in which
teachers might start to think
about how some of the ideas of
‘big history’ might find a home
in current history curricula.
