Tips voor differentiatie in de geschiedenisles KLEIO (Tijdschrift van de vereniging van docenten in geschiedenis en staatinrichting in Nederland) December 19, 2014 Authors: Tim Huijgen, Anita Warmelink, paul holthuis Wat beheerst de leerling al? Een taxonomisch model voor historische vaardigheden KLEIO November 1, 2014 Authors: Tim Huijgen, paul holthuis, Anita Warmelink Towards bad history? A call for the use of counterfactual historical reasoning in history education Historical Encounters June 1, 2014 Authors: Tim Huijgen, paul holthuis In this article we argue for the use of Counterfactual Historical Reasoning (CHR) in history education. Within the discipline of History the use of CHR as a reasoning and research strategy is very controversial. However, different studies show the potential of CHR for achieving the important students' competencies of historical and creative thinking. We show this potential using a CHR assignment that teacher students from the University of Groningen developed for secondary school students in their last year of pre-university education. We conclude that CHR could be used in history education to uncover and undermine assumptions, expand imagination, argue and reason from a historical context, ask historical questions and analyse sources in a very effective way.

3 Testing elementary and secondary school students ability to perform historical perspective taking: the constructing of valid and reliable measure instruments European Journal of Psychology of Education May 1, 2014 Authors: Tim Huijgen, Carla van Boxtel, Wim van de Grift, paul holthuis Historical reasoning competencies play an important role in history education. However, valid and reliable large-scale measurement instruments to assess these competencies are scarce. This study considers two instruments for measuring students ability to perform historical perspective taking (HPT) as a historical reasoning competency. The instruments have been tested for validity and reliability among 1,270 Dutch upper elementary and secondary school students, ranging in age from 10 to 17 years. One instrument offers effective validity and reliability and can map HPT performance among a large and heterogeneous student population. The results show that even upper elementary school students are capable of performing HPT. However, as students age, their ability to perform HPT increases. Differences regarding the ability to perform HPT were also found between educational levels. Pre-university students performed HPT more successfully compared to students at lower educational levels. The results of this study can be used to gain insight into the construct of HPT and into how historical reasoning competencies such as HPT can be measured. Furthermore, the results provide insight into how differences between students, such as age and educational levels, influence the performance of HPT.

Elmar van Ee, Student, / University of Groningen, worked indirectly for Tim at University of Groningen "Tim is an incredibly energetic and enthusiastic colleague. As a teacher educator he always strives to combine academic rigour with practical tricks of the trade for trainee teachers. He is also still a history teacher in a secondary school, researching methodology of teaching history and a course book author. Tim manages to combine all these jobs with a smile. He can get an awful lot done in a limited amount of time. I m glad we re sharing an office because it s motivating to work together with someone like Tim." Nienke Smit, Teacher Educator (methodology of teaching English), University of Groningen, worked directly with Tim at University of Groningen "Ik heb Tim afgelopen jaar leren kennen als een bevlogen collega-lerarenopleider. Hij weet zijn eigen ervaringen met het lesgeven goed te benutten bij het opleiden van leraren geschiedenis. Tim heeft goed zicht op de ontwikkeling van leraren in opleiding en zorgt ervoor dat theorie (onderzoek) en praktijk (lesgeven) elkaar versterken."
