University teaching and Mediaevalism: Reflections on how to teach and learn medieval History and Archaeology
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: For some years now, we have been witnessing a debate on how to teach in the university setting. This debate covers all fields, and even though the change has particularly focused on practical aspects of learning, disciplines with a high level of theoretical contents have also been involved. One of the key issues is determining whether our job is to teach history or train future historians, whether we have to convey key contents or skills. There is no doubt that ICTs play a prominent role in this transformation, although not in and of themselves but instead in the way we use them. The lockdown caused by the pandemic forced us to seek alternatives to teacher-led face-to-face classes, albeit not always with the expected outcomes. Now that this situation is over, we continue to wonder how to use ICTs, with what learning objectives and in what way. We analyse here what the role of the humanities teacher should be in the twenty-first-century university, what the challenges are and what tools we have available to face them.
