Project description
The Flemish super divers society, as a diaspora mosaic and the successive migration flows are   mirrored in the class rooms. Diversity in education, more specifically in history classes, challenges the ‘Eurocentric’ historiographical approach of the Grand Narratives. This educational research within the EduMa in History aims to provide an answer to the challenges existing in the Flemish history education on the one hand, and to gather insights in the professionalisation trajectory of the EduMa History students and to develop a didactical tool (based on educational/didactical research).
