The analytical divisions that I use for teaching world history are: chronological, geographical, social, philosophical / religious, economic, and political. I create manual global crisis simulations; however, in order to create genuine "psychohistorians", youth need to begin playing with the computer social-models that are currently available.
Although, I am a new, not permanent, member of Physchohistory.org, I recognize in it some potential for providing social science educators, like myself, and students the opportunities for nuturing this nascent science.
We adults are disingenuous when we suggest to young people that their world is simple. We will gain their trust and give them hope if we can provide imaginative tools with which youth can learn to build a positive and constructive future. |
