Roof, Ball State University  \nAbstract  \nThe following paper provides an overview of the primary themes that have shaped American educational historiography. It rests on the notion that when guided by an awareness of our past, we can better understand the windows of opportunity available to impact the present. This paper is by no means a definitive statement on U.S. educational historiography. The aim is simply to contribute to an on-going academic conversation, to better understand the manner in which knowledge in our field has spread, and further contemplate how our field might progress over time.  \nKeywords: history of education, foundations of education, education, historiography, teacher preparation, teacher training, education and society  \nIntroduction  \nPeter Burke helped us to understand the value in studying the manner in which knowledge spreads.1 To understand the peculiarities of the present it is important to review the trends in perspective that have developed over time. Examining central themes in the history of education allows us to understand the manner in which the field is a network and a type of epistemological community in which knowledge is constructed, diffused, and how it evolves over time. Furthermore, understanding these trends can allow contemporary and future historians to ask new questions about the past.2 In March of 2000 the Spencer Foundation gathered 40 U. S. historians of education to discuss trends and to facilitate historians asking these new questions about the past.3 Participants discussed issues such as race/ethnicity, gender, higher education, policy and so forth.4 Nonetheless, some of the last thorough essays on educational historiography in the U. S. were written in the 1970s.5 This work seeks to build on these earlier works, as well as the more recent contemplation on future directions, with a broad survey of the field. In doing so, this paper  \n1.

The aim of this paper is to make us more conscious of the knowledge system in which the history of education operates by examining prominent themes that have developed and changed over time. This includes, as McCulloch has instructed us to examine, the field’s strategic location in relation to education, history, and the social sciences.7 We must remember that the history of education is a contested field of study, a site of struggle, and highly relevant to an understanding of broader issues in history, education, and society.8 McCulloch suggests the gravitational pulls of education, history, and the social sciences have tended to destabilize the field. He also argues, however, that the field has benefited from scholars building on an enhanced sense of this unstable past.9 This work, therefore, seeks to examine some of the main themes in U. S. educational historiography.  \nThe first major theme is the role of educational history in academia and teacher preparation.
