History is the study of life in society in the past, in all its aspect, in relation to present
developments and future hopes. It is the story of man in time, an inquiry into the past based
on evidence. Indeed, evidence is the raw material of history teaching and learning. It is an
Inquiry into what happened in the past, when it happened, and how it happened. It is an
inquiry into the inevitable changes in human affairs in the past and the ways these changes
affect, influence or determine the patterns of life in the society. History is, or should be an
attempt to re-think the past. Collingwood (1945) is particularly interested in this concept of
history.
History aims at helping students to understand the present existing social, political, religious
and economic conditions of the people. Without the knowledge of history we cannot have the
background of our religion, customs institutions, administration and so on. The teaching of
history helps the students to explain the present, to analyze it and to trace its course. Causeand-effect
relationship between the past and the present is lively presented in the history.
History thus helps us to understand the present day problems both at the national and
international level accurately and objectively.
In this unit we will be dealing with meaning, nature and scope of history, aims and objectives
of teaching history at secondary level and values of teaching history.
