Whose History Should Be Dealt with in a Pluricultural Context--Immigrant Adolescents' Approach
Virta, Arja
Intercultural Education, v27 n4 p377-387 2016
This study focuses on migrant adolescents' perspective on history education with special reference to their families' home country. The data consist of qualitative interviews with 36 students from various migrant groups (aged 14-16 years). The history of the home country seemed to be significant for the students and they would have wanted to hear about it in school; but in most cases, the main source of information had been family or media.
