Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper explores problems and issues arising from the application of an objectives framework to the discipline of history in the secondary school context. Specifically the focus is upon a close analysis of the use of skills objectives in history. Analysis of interviews with syllabus writers and document analysis provided the basis from which it is concluded that the New South Wales (NSW) 1986 Two Unit Modern History syllabus is an ambitious curriculum document which created considerable difficulties for teachers intent on using its skills‐based objectives.
