Pri pouku zgodovine se vsak učitelj sooča z izzivom, kako predstaviti zgodovinske – predvsem pisne – vire na zanimiv in poučen način. Z medpredmetim povezovanjem in prebiranjem že zapisanih stališč glede dela z zgodovinskimi viri sem skupaj z šolsko knjižnico poskušal približati zgodovinske vire učencem 6. razreda osnovne šole. Vse skupaj se je začelo že ob prvem branju Blochove Apologije zgodovine, kjer sem se prvič vprašal: Zakaj zgodovina? Menim, da na to vprašanje učitelji zgodovine v razredih odgovarjamo vsako šolsko uro, ko želimo predmet približati učencem. Prav zgodovinski viri, pa so tisti ohranjeni deli preteklosti, za katere moramo pri učencih vzbuditi zanimanje in željo po ohranjanju. V članku želim predstaviti teorijo in principe dela z zgodovinskimi viri, tako v teoriji kot tudi v praksi. Sam sem prišel do sklepa, da se učence zares da pripraviti na sicer težavno delo z viri, če si za to vzamemo čas in upoštevamo korake nadgrajevanja znanja.
Abstract
Historical Sources through Lessons in the School Library
In history classes, every teacher faces the challenge of how to present historical – especially written – sources in an engaging and educational way. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and by examining the existing perspectives on working with historical sources, I worked together with the school library to bring historical sources closer to sixth-grade primary school students. The process began with my first reading of The Historian’s Craft by Marc Bloch, when I first asked myself: Why history? I believe that history teachers answer this question in the classroom during every lesson, as we strive to make the subject meaningful and accessible to students. Historical sources are the preserved fragments of the past, for which we must inspire students’ interest and a desire for preservation. In this article, I aimed to present the theory and principles of working with historical sources, both in theory and in practice. I have come to the conclusion that students can indeed be prepared for the otherwise demanding task of working with the sources, provided that we take sufficient time and follow the steps to upgrade their knowledge.
