The History Education Research Journal is excited to share the launch and publication of a new special series on ‘History Education in Historical Perspective’.

Edited by Dr Tyson Retz (University of Stavanger, Norway) and Prof Terry Haydn (University of East Anglia, UK), this open access special series brings together a collection of high-quality articles that explore different national contexts of theory and practice, the different intellectual traditions of educational thought that have made an impact across national borders and papers that consider what, in the history of history education, remains a potentially valuable source of new insight. The intent is to provide new historical insights on these topics and to characterise the implications of this research. Contributors of the papers in this series bring their histories to bear on discussion of the current and future directions of historical teaching and learning.

Read the first article published in this series:

Historical narratives: how Portuguese students aged 10 and 15 make use of national history authored by Ana Isabel Moreira (Researcher in History Education, CITCEM, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal) and Isabel Barca (Senior Researcher in History Education, CITCEM, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal). In ‘Do they know national history’ the authors discuss their paper and explore historical narratives in history education.
