Opportunities for the  \ninclusion of human rights based studies were examined across school learning stages, taking into account explicit and implicit, compulsory or elective, as well as curricular and extra-curricular dimensions. Given the continued importance of History as a learning area, there is a need to strengthen the available explicit  \nand mandatory opportunities for students to learn about human rights issues,  \nworking closely with key teacher associations, non-government agencies and  \nsupportive networks, drawing on available educational technologies.  \nIntroduction  \nAustralian education systems, at state and federal levels, have been undergoing major reforms to their governance structures and to the nature of their curriculum. At the same time over the last decade there has been a national conversation about the community’s knowledge and understanding of human rights (National Human Rights Consultation Committee, 2009) . In this context, it is an opportune time to review the place of education for and about human rights within the school curriculum, with specific emphasis in this paper on one subject area, History, and how it addresses human rights issues. The study reported on in this paper (Burridge et al., 2013) outlines and examines the findings of a nationwide investigation into the capacity of each state and territory school education system and their individual curricula to provide opportunities to educate and motivate school students about human rights. It also engages in a discussion of the curriculum reforms being introduced as a result of the national Australian curriculum framework that is being led by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment Reporting Authority (ACARA) and the extent to which it caters for human rights perspectives. The study was the first national cross-sectoral investigation of the place of human rights in Australian school curricula.  \nThis paper confines itself to reporting on the curriculum opportunities found in the existing History syllabus in the various state and territory based curricula at the time of the investigation in 2012. Our data derive from four main sources: a review of the literature; input from roundtable discussions with participants with an interest in the advocacy for and the delivery of, human rights education in schools; analysis of curriculum and policy documents atthe state, territory and national levels; and data on the resources and technologies being used in the teaching of human rights in schools.  \nIn general terms, it appears that the opportunities for delivery of effective hum","cbCaiafO0awRsGuA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiafO0awRsGuA","pdf",154535,"English","# Introduction\n## Importance of Learning About History\n# Human rights education opportunities across curricula\n## Findings and implications","[{\"question\":\"What is the core focus of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates the place of education for and about human rights within Australian school curricula, with a specific emphasis on History and how it addresses human rights issues.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the authors examine opportunities for human rights education?\",\"answer\":\"Opportunities were examined across school learning stages using a review of literature, roundtable inputs, analysis of curriculum and policy documents at state, territory, and national levels, and data on resources and technologies used in schools.\"},{\"question\":\"What limitations does the study identify in current practice?\",\"answer\":\"Opportunities for effective human rights education are described as fragmentary and limited, often relying on individual teacher interest and being relegated to senior non-compulsory years or optional elective subjects.\"}]","Human Rights and History Education: An Australian Study - Article 2 | PDF",1792077456]
