Four Goals for the Study of History.

There are many goals students should follow for the study of history.

The first goal is seen to be socialization. I believe this goal is essential for young learners because it is important students learn to work together and share ideas with one another.

The second goal is counter-socialization. Students can use this to reflect on their work with one another. This is still essential for learning history because the students can reflect off one another to continue learning the topic.

The third goal is Chronological thinking. This is important because students are learning many different topics of history and should know what they are learning in the beginning, middle, and end.

The fourth goal is Historical Comprehension. This is the basic understanding of history and all that is taught in history. This is where students can gain a strong interest in what they are learning and understanding it well.
