The Humanism of Teachers' Oral History Research in the UK:Historical Composition and "Craft-like" Approach
In contrast to scientifically orientated oral history research,teachers' oral history research in the UK has a humanistic character centred on teachers,bringing teachers "hidden from history" into the academic and public eye. By analysing the research work on teachers' oral history in the UK from the 1990s onwards,we can outline the humanistic features in two ways:firstly,by focusing on the teachers' life experiences and spiritual world and exploring the collective memory of teachers with social significance,a historical composition with strong humanistic colours is outlined;secondly,by reflecting on the "authenticity" of history and "how to collect and use oral history materials" from the human dimension of history,a "craft-like" approach with a humanistic stance is developed. The study of teachers' oral history in the UK is informative for understanding "necessity and possibility of a humanistic approach to oral history in education".
