Abstract	This ERIC Digest discusses the National History Standards and their implementation in elementary education. The National Standards, along with recent research on history learning, have influenced curriculum guides, textbook revisions, and new instructional materials in various formats. This digest summarizes research on children's ability to learn history and different teaching methods. It explains that the National Standards project divides thinking skills into five categories: (1) chronological thinking; (2) historical comprehension; (3) historical analysis and interpretation; (4) historical research capabilities; and (5) historical issues analysis and decision making. Content standards are divided into three sets: (1) K-grade 4; (2) U.S. history for grades 5-12; and (3) world history for grades 5-12. The set of nine content standards for grades K-4 is divided into five topics: (1) living and working together in families and communities, now and long ago; (2) the history of students' own state or region; (3) the nation; (4) the history of peoples of many cultures around the world; and (5) historic discoveries in science and technology. This digest lists 10 periods or eras in which the 32 content standards in U.S. history are distributed. The 36 content standards in world history are distributed within 8 historical periods. The digest identifies teaching practices that develop historical knowledge, thinking skills, and interest in learning history. Good teaching practices include the use of children's literature, videotapes, and field trips. An 11-item list of references and ERIC resources is included. (DK)
