| | Teaching History: Time for chronology?: Ideas for developing chronological understanding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07) |
 | | The development of chronological understanding happens neither quickly nor easily and is closely linked to both linguistic and mathematical development, but the important, broad conclusion from work at Key Stage 2 is that pupils' chronological understanding can be accelerated through clearly-targeted teaching and learning strategies. |
 | | This omission creates the danger that work on chronology is, at best, episodic, yet the development of pupils' chronological understanding depends upon teaching focused on clear objectives and regular reinforcement of understandings so that, over time, they become more sophisticated and take root in pupils' minds. |
 | | One of the key threads of this article is that pupils are most likely to develop enduring chronological knowledge and understanding if they regularly revisit material studied earlier, in the same way that they revisit evidence, interpretations and other concepts. |
