Is the task culture in history textbooks geared towards historical thinking? Christoph Bramann addresses this question by examining Austrian and German history textbooks within the framework of a categorial analysis, which are analyzed qualitatively and evaluated quantitatively in terms of the implementation of central criteria for learning tasks in the context of a subject-specific task culture. The book thus provides a representative insight into the task culture in history textbooks and thus a basis empirical support for the implementation of curricular targets. Furthermore, the author opens the view to concrete theoretical and practical gaps in the context of further research and pragmatic implementation of a task culture of historical thinking - not only in history textbooks.
