Case Study: Learning Through Place:
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This case study demonstrates how a field trip to Port Sunlight village was transformed into a powerful learning experience about British colonialism and industrial history. By carefully structuring students' discovery of contrasting historical narratives through direct observation followed by archival evidence, the approach creates genuine moments of critical reflection captured through group poster presentations. The success of this approach shows how local heritage sites can be used to teach complex historical themes while developing critical thinking skills.
