The Teaching Method With Historical Concepts From The Perspective Of Conceptual History

The current united high-school history textbook,which is compiled according to the"Curriculum Standard of History of High School(Revised Edition in 2020)",shows the characteristics of high density of historical knowledge so that many historical concepts are correlated,some of which have different definition and connotation in different periods.Such concepts are defined "Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe" by conceptual historians.With research and analysis of concepts,to a certain extent,the process and changing of human history can be understood.Using his method,teacher could help students to understand the historical concepts in the textbooks further,the historical events in different time and space reasonably,and ultimately,to come into a general understanding of the whole historical knowledge system.This article attempts to explore the teaching method and practice of historical concept from the perspective of conceptual history,combined with a specific case:the"revolution"-concept and its relevant teaching practice.The article is divided into four parts:firstly,it roughly sorts out the generation and evolution of Conceptual History.Then it clearly points out that using the theoretical knowledge and method of Reinhart Koselleck,the representative of German "Begriffsgeschichte",to analyze the evolution of the word "revolution" and its meaning.Secondly,based on defining the basic connotation of "historical concept",it further discusses the necessity and feasibility of "historical concept"-teaching method in the actual teaching process.Thirdly,though brief analyzing of the narration "revolution" in the current high school textbooks it would design some specific teaching measures of historical concept from the perspective of Conceptual History.Finally,it summarizes and reflects on the use of the theory and method of Conceptual History in the historical concept’s didactic and puts forward some suggestions and strategies for teaching implementation.Carrying out the teaching method and practice of historical concept with the theoretical knowledge and method of Conceptual History,we find that analyzing concepts from the perspective of temporalization is conducive to helping students understand history through concepts,form systematic conceptual knowledge network,and then strengthen their historical data demonstration awareness,develop the sense of time and space,enhance their ability of historical interpretation and historical logical thinking,and promote the implementation of core quality of history discipline in history teaching.
