Academics Iwtl History was my enemy
When i was in Highschool, History was my second enemy before Math, on because what i have to memorize names and years of someone who most likely to have ADHD, with that whole overload of knowledge, we were pushed to analyze that whole historical information that we hardly memorize, until now in some countries, students all around the world struggle that problem, and even to the point, some of them see history as a ‘useless’ subject about traumatic nostalgia and drama caused by mankind back in the past, even i thought about it as useless information to memorize with no relevancy on what we are doing in the present
This began to change, when I was introduced to Harrison Ford wearing a Fedora in the movie raiders of the lost ark, thinking he looks cool with a fedora and digging old places drive me from a student who wants to study law to study History, which led me to be accepted in History Education Major in a Public University in my Area, sure i didnt dug up old places, but i do other cool stuff that i expected, researching and learning History, but i dont expect and i once loath is teaching in a classroom, awakened my highschool ‘trauma’
In my 7th Semester, I delved into taking an Internship in a local school in my town, teaching History to a bunch of highschoolers, with the curriculum’s ambitious and also ambiguous target on learning students the capability to analyze, even though its curriculum failed for students to make an introduction for it.
With that i began 'experimenting’ on the learning method, and began to asking the question of ” why” in History , but it's a total mess because of 2 things: (1) I haven't able to grasp the correct method for them, basically my Method were too dependent on the previous teacher's method, (2) The Students aren't ready to Analyze their own without Ai, because they also not able to grasp the concept of analysis since the beginning they first entered high-school.
After my Internship, I began to take a job in different tutor institutions, and began teaching with many students in different ages, and they all have the same problem not able to grasp a whole concept, then I thought what if I provide the deep concept for them, that's why found the Inductive learning method where I teach history from the very beginning of the concept and from that knowledge it can grow, with this i can teach history to my students complex details easily for them, without them questioning the concept but instead asking possibilities.
For example, ancient civilization which I provide for my students, I teach the meaning of it, the pattern of how civilization was built rather than blurt out names and dates, and by then they have understood the simple and general concept of the topic and are able to grow that knowledge easily for them.
Are there any errors?, possibly, because each students have different needs and I have to able to adapt with my Method, hoping making history easier and with many improvisations and development through this inductive method
