Absztrakt (kivonat)

International educational strategies and policies of our time show that the focus of interest is on the efficiency of the efficiency of schools and the adaptibility of the knowledge acquired in school, as is rightly reflected in the annual reports of the OECD or the documents containing educational guidelines published by the European Union. This focus on knowledge as an instrumental factor is also ‘forcing’ educational systems to change. Currently the focus of international history didactics is on the development of historical thinking, multiperspectivity, personalised history teaching, competence development and the corporatisation of ICT tools. In terms of trends in history teaching, two fundamentally opposing directions can be identified, one of which has become a focus on the approach to learning history (substantive history) and the other on understanding historical thinking (disciplinary understanding). Postmodern interpretations of history teaching and citizenship education have transformed earlier traditions that go back several centuries especially in Western countries. Scotland has taken an international lead in adapting wider 21st-century educational and extra-curricular skills. Thus, this paper aims to present the Scottish education system and the state of Scottish history teaching and citizenship education, addressing the current challenges, dilemmas, and good practices. When covering the national exams, this article focuses on the National 5 level (which is an equivalent of a basic exam, being taken at school-leaving age as a qualification), with occasional comments on how the higher levels (Higher, Advanced Higher) are different in nature.
