Paul Kiem, history teacher for thirty years and now Professional Officer for History Teachers' Association of New South Wales, Australia, asks important questions around the use of sourcework in second-level history classrooms. Since the source-based inquiry revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, ‘source work’ has been a major focus of history education. During this period, the practice of source work has been subject to varying levels of scrutiny. In this discussion Paul Kiem seeks to promote more widespread evaluation of the role of source work by briefly surveying how historians work and how this may relate to school based source work. He concludes with some suggestions on the role source work may play as one component in the rich array of pedagogical approaches needed to support successful history teaching. https://youtu.be/KB3DbvNPStI
