Been going over this problem for a few days now, whilst struggling over my 1c but:
What actually makes good explanation/ analysis in a significance enquiry?
2.
Through a lot of @jcarrollhistory @histassoc reading on explanation and good causal explanation, I am finding it hard to differentiate between the two. Is there a difference?
What is the role of explanation in a significance essay?
3.
My students seem to be treating their extended writing on significance as a causation essay, whilst treating significance criteria as categories for evidence/ causal factors for the Magna Carta’s significance?
How do we move students past this?
Should we move them past this?
4.
A very controversial point but also something I’m struggling with:
Should we be teaching significance as it’s own second order concept?
Or should we instead teach significance through the medium of other second order concepts?
Is that even possible?
5.
A lot of questions from me, that I cannot seem to answer.
Any clarification/ help/ musings on this topic would be greatly appreciated atm!
