Background: Why all this?
I want to find out what children think about life in the past. Your picture will help me to explore the prior knowledge and ideas of primary school children! The pictures will be analysed at the University of Oldenburg - as part of the QuaSU (Quellenarbeit im Sachunterricht) research project on historical learning in non-fiction lessons. The results will then be incorporated into the development of new, exciting learning materials for general knowledge lessons.
Important to know:
- Participation is voluntary
- There is no right or wrong - it's your imagination that counts!
- If your picture is to be used for research, you and your parents must give your consent
- All data will be treated confidentially
- For the prize draw, your parents must fill out a short form.
A joint project by:
University of Oldenburg (Sachunterricht department)
