Bibliography for History Teaching and Learning


 
There is an extensive and rapidly growing literature on teaching and learning in higher education. We have therefore confined ourselves to those works which will be of most practical use to university history teachers wishing to think through their practices or seeking answers to teaching issues. 

The American Historical Association publishes numerous bibliographical pamphlets on various aspects of history, and Perspectives, its newsletter, contains a regular ‘teaching innovations’ section with short, practical articles on disciplinary teaching and learning in higher education. In the UK, the Historical Association journal Teaching History, whilst schools-focused, also contains ideas relevant to teaching at degree level. History and Computing carries a wide range of articles on all aspects of  development and practice in this important field. More generally, in the USA the AAHE Bulletin (American Association of Higher Education), Change, College Teaching, The Teaching Professor, and Journal of Excellence in College Teaching carry informative articles on many aspects of teaching relevant to university history teachers. So too in the UK, the magazine the New Academic, and the more scholarly Studies in Higher Education, Teaching in Higher Education and International Journal of Academic Development, contain much valuable material on teaching and learning issues. Research into Higher Education Abstracts, published by the Society for Research in Higher Education in the UK, provides a survey of articles and periodicals relevant to the theory and practice of higher education with an emphasis upon Britain and Europe, and Higher Education Research Abstracts published by Claremont Graduate School, California offers a similar service for the United States.
