This paper explores the design principles of German history textbooks on transitional justice. Textbooks are the primary and most common resources for classroom teaching and curriculum development. Therefore, they must effectively explain and convey views on transitional justice to guide students in deeply contemplating and internalizing these concepts. In this study, we utilized qualitative educational criticism research methods to analyze textbooks through Eisner’s concepts of educational connoisseurship and criticism by following the guidelines of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Specifically, our analysis involved an examining of the methods used to develop materials that assist teachers in addressing transitional justice problems. Our findings indicate that German history textbooks not only recount historical events but also present original documents illustrating various perspectives and opinions. In addition, these textbooks are designed with multiple activities that enhance students’abilities to gather data, engage in critical thinking, and solve problems. Moreover, the designers of these textbooks support learners in evaluating historical events, understanding the contexts of human rights violations, and deepening and broadening their understanding of transitional justice issues. |
