The formation of character in education : from Aristotle to the 21st century
This volume offers an introduction to the foundations, practices, policies, and issues of character formation historically. Following a chronological order, it charts the idea of character formation in the Western tradition by critically examining its precursors, origins, development, meanings, and uses. The book is based on the premise that current conditions and debates around character formation cannot be fully understood without knowledge of the historical background. It introduces many of the debates character formation has generated in order to offer different perspectives and possibilities and uses Aristotle as a lens to gain a better understanding of some of these positions, particularly the theoretical goals of character formation.

Citizenship, nation, empire
Citizenship, nation, empire investigates the extent to which popular imperialism influenced the teaching of history between 1870 and 1930. It is the first book-length study to trace the substantial impact of educational psychology on the teaching of history, probing its impact on textbooks, literacy primers and teacher-training manuals. Educationists identified ‘enlightened patriotism’ to be the core objective of historical education. This was neither tub-thumping jingoism, nor state-prescribed national-identity teaching, but rather a carefully crafted curriculum for all children which fused civic as well as imperial ambitions. The book will be of interest to those studying or researching aspects of English domestic imperial culture, especially those concerned with questions of childhood and schooling, citizenship, educational publishing and anglo-British relations. Given that vitriolic debates about the politics of history teaching have endured into the twenty-first century, Citizenship, nation, empire is a timely study of the formative influences that shaped the history curriculum in English schools

Historians across borders
In this stimulating and highly original study of the writing of American history, twenty-four scholars from eleven European countries explore the impact of writing history from abroad. Six distinguished scholars from around the world add their commentaries. Arguing that historical writing is conditioned, crucially, by the place from which it is written, this volume identifies the formative impact of a wide variety of institutional and cultural factors that are commonly overlooked. Examining how American history is written from Europe, the contributors shed light on how history is written in the United States and, indeed, on the way history is written anywhere. The innovative perspectives included in Historians across Borders are designed to reinvigorate American historiography as the rise of global and transnational history is creating a critical need to understand the impact of place on the writing and teaching of history. This book is designed for students in historiography, global and transnational history, and related courses in the United States and abroad, for US historians, and for anyone interested in how historians work.

Debates en la historiografía y en las investigaciones sobre enseñanza de la historia en torno a las cogniciones y a las emociones
The aim of this work is to deal with cognitions and emotions in historiography and research on the teaching of history, in order to identify key discussions and catch a glimpse on possible paths for teaching. The first part sets forth the history of emotions by pointing out four transversal discussions: if emotions should be explained in universal terms or as cultural constructs; differences found in the definition of basic categories; lack of relation between cognitions and emotions; and the incipient status in the history of emotions. In the second part the most recent states of knowledge in the teaching field are analyzed, showing that research has basically been focused on cognitive categories, and that emotionality has emerged in dribs and drabs associated to the motivation for learning and to the subjects considered main characters as tools that help to improve memory; and as a connecting tool between history and the life of students. In a tangential way,it was found in studies on identities, memory and empathy with no explanation between relations cognitions and emotions.
