Greek Cypriot students’ ideas of historical empathy: a case study exploration of 9 -12 years old students’ ideas about practices in the past
What is this about?
This dissertation reports a case study conducted on Greek Cypriot primary students. The aim was to explore their ideas of historical empathy. Students were asked about two practices in the past: child labour in early 20th century Cyprus and boys’ education in Ancient Sparta. The study shows that the students hold similar ideas of historical empathy to those identified by international research.
