This book discusses the discipline standards of History in Australian universities in order to
help historians understand the Threshold Learning Outcomes and to assist in their practical
application. It is divided into two sections: The first offers a scholarly exploration of
contemporary issues in history teaching while the second section discusses each of the
Threshold Learning Outcomes and provides real-world examples of quality pedagogical
practice.Although the book focuses on the discipline of history in Australia other subjects
and other countries are facing the same dilemmas. As such it includes chapters that address
the international context and bring an international perspective to the engagement with
discipline standards. The innovation and leadership of this scholarly community represents a
new stage in the transformation and renewal of history teaching.
