A történelemdidaktika trendjei a Nemzetközi Történelemdidaktikai Társaság (ISHD) kiadványainak tükrében

Abstract

By the 21st century, the difficulty of knowledge selection has replaced the limitations of knowledge accessibility. Vast amounts of accumulated useful and less relevant knowledge are now available - not in brick-and-mortar libraries but in online repositories on various servers. This makes the question of which open access professional journals are indispensable to the academic life of the discipline even more important. History didactics, as a discipline that focuses on the resources of the past, supports the development of historical thinking and the implementation of higher order learning activities, can help to develop effective information selection strategies.

The aim of our study is to define the professional role and trends of the International Journal of Research on History Didactics, History Education and History Culture, published by the International Society for History Didactics, in the last decade (2011-2021), to map and analyse the journal and, through this, to outline the professional workshops, actors, current trends and problems of history didactics.

Based on the exploratory analyses, the focus of the journal is on textbook revision and the various content-curriculum regulators. Within the European academic community, German researchers and history didactics workshops are prominent. The results of the research clearly point to complex directions in the development of history didactics, which will presumably influence the academic discourse of the near future, both internationally and domestically, thus contributing to the renewal of the discipline.
