LEVESQUE, Stéphane  and  ZANAZANIAN, Paul. History Is a Verb: We Learn It Best When We Are Doing It: French and English Canadian Prospective Teachers and History. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2015, n.52, pp.32-51. ISSN 0123-885X.  https://doi.org/10.7440/res52.2015.03.

This article presents the results of a Canadian study of prospective history teachers conducted in 2012-2013. Using an online questionnaire to assess a broad range of questions pertaining to their knowledge of history, their trust in historical sources, their experiences in high school and university classes, and their views about school history, it offers new empirical evidence on how the growing generation of Canadian teachers are prepared for the teaching profession. Implications of this study for teacher education and practice teaching are also presented.

Keywords : History; education; Canadian teachers; experiences.
