History is constructed by people who study the past. It is created through working on both primary and secondary sources that historians use to learn about people, events, and everyday life in the past. Just like detectives, historians look at clues, sift through evidence, and make their own interpretations. Historical knowledge is, therefore, the outcome of a process of enquiry. During last century, the teaching of history has changed considerably. The use of sources, viz. textual, visual, and oral, in school classrooms in many parts of the world has already become an essential part of teaching history. However, in India, it is only a recent phenomenon. Introducing students to primary sources and making them a regular part of classroom lessons help students develop critical thinking and deductive reasoning skills. These will be useful throughout their lives. This paper highlights the benefits of using primary source materials in a history classroom and provides the teacher, with practical suggestions and examples of how to do this.

Abstract:  The History  Teaching  Paradigm  Facing  Future  Challenges.  Teaching history is an interesting topic to be discussed, especially when modern human life becomes more materialistic and pays almost no attention to moral values. History, and especially history teaching, as a part of social sciences becomes dry because it provides no financial benefits in the short run as in the case of other social sciences. However, history and history teaching play an important role in the existence of a nation with regard to moral values. By studying history everybody can understand better about himself or herself, his or her existence, and how  life always changes through experiences. History teaches people to be wise and not to repeat mistakes. Therefore, history teaching plays an important role in the existence of a nation. Keywords: paradigm, history teaching, future challenges

Chapter 6 examines the teaching of history through an administrative and pedagogical prism. It discusses the historical evolution of the Mandate’s curricula and history syllabi and traces their origins. The history syllabus is viewed as a complex colonial document that reflects the pedagogical negotiations, negations, and oversights in history instruction. The pedagogical characteristics of history teaching are surveyed in pedagogical articles and books published during the Mandate period. The chapter concludes with the problematic intersection between the educational aspirations reflected in the syllabus and the pedagogical discourse of the intellectual elite with the ‘normal’ or peripheral classroom, and the challenges facing rank-and-file teachers, while trying to comply with both.

This study aims to flash back on the extent of the hidden curriculum in the teaching of history can affect the formation of the spirit of nationalism among students/students in university. The method used in conducting this research is descriptive qualitative method.
