| Summary: | 碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 歷史與文物研究所 === 102 === Recently, there have been more and more research monographs on history education and historical thinking, while the history course and history teaching within the vocational system are hardly a concern. This study aims to explore how to achieve the purposes of historical teaching through the use of ancient maps, and how students can read the messages and symbols in the ancient maps and determine mapping changes in history from teaching activities, thus stimulating higher level of thinking.
In line with the research purpose, the study first reorganized relevant text information of “historical thinking and teaching” and “ancient maps and historical teaching” through literature review, from which the substance was captured and study scope was delineated. Second, the theoretical books on the concept of historical thinking and ancient maps interpretation were explored to obtain the basic core objectives of designing a teaching experiment. Third, in line with the historical education curriculum objective in vocational high schools, teaching experiments were studied using historical thinking as the core objective. Fourth, as for the teaching experiment, lecturing, visual teaching, teaching program design as well as questioning methods were employed to guide students to think, so as to sort out the historical analytical skills that students show when being exposed to the new textbook on ancient maps.
The results confirmed that students’ historical thinking skills can indeed be enhanced through the teaching of ancient maps. Historical thinking needs long-term training. If teachers can choose suitable ancient maps for each unit in class and cultivate students’ reading ability, students’ thinking can be better enhanced.We hope to make a contribution to historical education and research of vocational high schools in this study.
