초록

Howard Zinn looked at history based on the assumption that historians facing the past can not take an objective and neutral attitude. And among the many historical facts, it was historically important to help understanding the present or to help solving the present problems. And he saw that facts that were not common in history but fulfilled what they wanted, or facts that failed to reach achievement and were defeated or frustrated could be important pasts.
Zinn emphasized that this view can also be applied to teaching and learning history. Although it was inevitable for a teacher to clearly establish his or her own view of history, it was inappropriate to hide it, knowing that there would be disagreements with students' consciousness. In addition, the teachers who choose what to teach and how to hide their judgment criteria and maintain a neutral attitude were neither possible nor just.
For this reason, Zinn stressed that the teacher should be embracing students’ views while revealing his point of view, and it is necessary to ask questions that will help students to judge themselves, showing the controversial nature of historical interpretation . He also suggested ways of seeing past facts from the viewpoints of subjects not covered by historical textbooks or history lessons. He also emphasized that history is worth learning when it affects the recognition and practice of students.
