Decolonizing the History Curriculum in Malaysia and Singapore (Routledge Studies in Educational History and Development in Asia)

Kevin Blackburn

4.9/5 (26650 ratings)

Description:Decolonizing the History Curriculum in Malaysia and Singapore is a unique study in the history of education because it examines decolonization in terms of how it changed the subject of history in the school curriculum of two colonized countries - Malaysia and Singapore. Blackburn and Wu's book analyses the transition of the subject of history from colonial education to postcolonial education, from the history syllabus upholding the colonial order to after independence when the history syllabus became a tool for nation-building. Malaysia and Singapore are excellent case studies of this process because they once shared a common imperial curriculum in the English language schools that was gradually 'decolonized' to form the basis of the early history syllabuses of the new nation-states (they were briefly one nation-state in the early to mid-1960s). The colonial English language history syllabus was 'decolonized' into a national curriculum that was translated into the Chinese, Malay, and Tamil schools of Malaysia and Singapore. By analysing the causes and consequences of the dramatic changes made to the teaching of history in the schools of Malaya and Singapore as Britain ended her empire in Southeast Asia, Blackburn and Wu offer fascinating insights into educational reform, the effects of decolonization on curricula and the history of Malaysian and Singaporean education.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
