Description

The article underpins its intervention with the model of domain learning, treating explicit teaching as multidimensional: it "focus[s] on strategies and second-order concepts to generate and verbalize causal explanations and epistemological underpinnings connected to causal reasoning in history". The model motivates measuring knowledge, epistemological beliefs, and interest as interrelated outcomes of domain learning.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Explicit teaching must address multiple dimensions simultaneously: strategies, second-order concepts, and epistemological underpinnings

Constraints

Target Learners

  • 11th-grade history students

Learning Goals

  • Constructing causal explanations in history
  • Second-order historical reasoning
  • Epistemological understanding of history
