Welcome to our website on research about

“The collection and the analysis of outstanding history lessons outside Japan”

funded by the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research in Japan.

To Japanese Page

The purpose of this research is to improve some academic problems in Japanese history education. The most serious problem is that few Japanese researchers have explored history classrooms in other countries and we do not have enough research results regarding overseas history practices. Therefore it is very difficult for Japanese history teachers to know and understand what history teachers engage with and what happens in history classrooms abroad.

The research aims to collect lessons taught by effective history teachers in overseas classrooms and to address the two problems mentioned above, through sharing good practice in primary and secondary history classrooms on this website. We also aim to collect the curricula for history and popular school history textbooks in England, Germany and the United States.
