Engaging history: the educational impact of medieval objects
Description
Suitable for teacher training and continuing professional development.
• This CPD PowerPoint introduces ‘The Mobility of Objects’ project led by Dr Katherine Wilson and Dr Thomas Pickles at the University of Chester in the UK, who are seeking to reinvigorate history education through the incorporation of everyday medieval objects. Their approach, emphasising hands-on exploration and critical inquiry, demonstrates how material culture profoundly enhances historical understanding and pedagogy.
• It also contains ‘talking points’ to prompt reflection and collegiate discussion.
