This research is aimed at investigating the readiness of History subject teachers in teaching and learning with the help of i-Think mind maps at secondary schools in the district of Setiu, Terengganu. The amount of sample chosen is 59 History teachers from secondary schools which consists of trained teachers without taking into account their specialisation. As a whole, the research findings show that respondents have a high readiness level in implementing their teaching and learning process with the help of i-Think mind maps in secondary schools. The findings also show that there is a difference in teacher readiness between history teacher and non-history teacher and between those that went to courses and those who did not. Furthermore, there is a difference in the attitude, skill and usage level of i-Think mind maps in teachers that are experienced and those less experienced. However, research findings for experienced and less-experienced teachers showed that there are no significant differences in the level of knowledge on the concept of i-Think mind maps.

Research Findings

As part of a recent study of the teaching and learning of te reo Māori (the Māori language) in English-medium secondary schools in Aotearoa/New Zealand, I asked a sample of teachers which textbooks they used. I then analysed some of those textbooks that were referred to most often, using focus points derived from a review of literature on the design of textbooks for the teaching of additional languages. What I found was that the textbooks analysed were inconsistent with the relevant curriculum guidelines document and were also problematic in a number of other ways. This article discusses a number of the problematic concerns and outlines what would be involved in designing more effective textbooks for Indigenous languages, and textbooks that are in line with current research findings.

The authors argue that intellectual shifts and related ideological debates have set new pedagogical demands on history teachers and new programmatic demands on faculties of education. In an attempt to relate the relevance of generating historical thinking (motivating the students to think like historians) to transformative education, the authors outline an history inquiry model based on Dewey’s educational theory. In this model, content knowledge and mastery of the subject matter is as critical as an understanding of teaching and learning history. The paper addresses the challenges set by a dominant relativist self-referential slant, the teaching of history in a multicultural class, and the tendency, in particular in social studies classes, to fall into presentism.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the implementation of the method of inquiry among history teachers in secondary schools in Pasir Gudang district. The main purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the implementation of the method of teaching and teaching of History teachers especially the school location in Pasir Gudang district. Three aspects have been studied to address the research questions, namely, the level of knowledge, attitudes and skills of history teachers in implementing the method of inquiry in high school. The design used by the researcher was a quantitative research type of survey study involving 60 history teachers. Researchers used questionnaires as instruments and data were analyzed using content analysis techniques. The data obtained in this study were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 10.0. The findings show that the level of knowledge, attitudes and skills of history teachers are at a moderate level in the implementation of inquiry-based methods of teaching and learning. History educators are less confident in applying inquiry methods because they are less skilled in inquiry-based inquiry techniques. This study found several factors to impede the implementation of research methods such as time constraints, lack of teaching aids and student attitude. Some suggestions have been made to the history teachers to further enhance the implementation of inquiry-based methods in teaching and learning.

The use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning has become a necessity and an opportunity for improving and enhancing acquisition of knowledge by learners. The integration of ICT in teachers’ pedagogical practices has the potential to transform the teaching and learning process. ICTs have become vital tools for teachers to enhance learning through the teachers’ pedagogical aspect of content preparation in classroom. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of ICT integration on content preparation by ICT and Non-ICT trained teachers in secondary schools. The study’s specific objectives were to assess the status of teachers’ integration of ICT in content preparation and to establish the influence of ICT integration on content preparation by ICT and Non-ICT trained teachers in secondary schools. The hypothesis of the study was; ICT integration does not significantly influence content preparation by ICT and Non-ICT trained teachers in secondary schools in Machakos County, Kenya. The study employed descriptive survey research design. The sample size comprised of 180 principals, 360 teachers and 398 students. Data was collected using questionnaires, observation schedule, and document analysis. Content validity of the research instruments was ascertained through analysis by experts in comparative education and piloting of the research instruments. Reliability was ascertained by testing and re-testing the instruments. Data analysis was done by use of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Responses from the observation schedule and document analysis guide were organized into themes and integrated with rest of the data for purposes of triangulation. Pearson’s Product Moment correlation coefficient was used to determine the level and strength of the relationship between ICT integration and teachers’ content preparation. Pearson chi test was employed to determine the levels of significance between the variables. The study established that ICT trained teachers profoundly embraced the use of ICT skills to prepare e-based learning activities which enhanced their content preparation leading to more innovative lessons due to the acquisition of pedagogical ICT training. The study concluded that ICT integration significantly influenced teachers’ content preparation by ICT and Non-ICT trained teachers. ICT trained teachers’ integration of ICT in their content preparation was significantly higher at (p) 0.002 than their Non-ICT trained counterparts at (p) 0.045. It was concluded that ICT trained teachers integrated ICT in their content preparation more than Non-ICT trained teachers in secondary schools. Hence the null hypothesis was rejected. Based on the findings and conclusions the study recommended that, The Ministry of Education (MOE) and other ICT training agencies should provide ICT in-service training programs to ensure that all teachers acquire ICT skills to utilize ICT in content preparation for quality education.

This study aims to identify the challenges faced by teachers and the efforts made in the implementation of HOTS-based history learning. In this study, a qualitative method was used by taking research at the Lab School in Kebayoran Jakarta. The analysis was carried using Strauss & Corbin grounded theory approach. The results illustrate three interrelated things, namely the concept of HOTS used, implementation, and challenges faced by history teachers. This study shows that the difficulty faced by history teachers in teaching and learning history based on HOTS is that assessment has been carried out using the HOTS model. On the other hand, training in learning that supports HOTS has not been provided to teachers, many curriculum demands, teacher competencies/skills, lack of time in the learning process, and the learning design made by the teacher does not yet support HOTS. The efforts to answer these challenge can be overcome by (1) increasing teacher understanding/mastery of HOTS concepts, (2) the planning of learning devices arranged to suit the needs of students, and (3) during the implementation of learning using models that support HOTS namely inquiry learning.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tantangan yang dihadapi guru dan upaya yang dilakukan dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran sejarah berbasis HOTS. Dalam penelitian ini, metode kualitatif digunakan dengan mengambil penelitian di SMA Lab School Kebayoran Jakarta. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan teori ground Strauss & Corbin. Hasil penelitian menggambarkan tiga hal yang saling terkait, yaitu konsep HOTS yang digunakan, implementasi, dan tantangan yang dihadapi oleh guru sejarah. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa kesulitan yang dihadapi oleh guru sejarah dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran sejarah berdasarkan HOTS adalah penilaian telah dilakukan dengan menggunakan model HOTS. Di sisi lain, pelatihan dalam pembelajaran yang mendukung HOTS belum diberikan kepada guru, banyak tuntutan kurikulum, kompetensi / keterampilan guru, kurangnya waktu dalam proses pembelajaran, dan desain pembelajaran yang dibuat oleh guru belum mendukung HOTS. Upaya menjawab tantangan ini dapat diatasi dengan (1) peningkatan pemahaman guru / penguasaan konsep HOTS, (2) perencanaan perangkat pembelajaran yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan siswa, dan (3) selama pelaksanaan pembelajaran menggunakan model yang mendukung HOTS yaitu pembelajaran inkuiri.
