Forschungsarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Geschichte, Note: 12+1, Bahir Dar University (Bahir Dar university), Veranstaltung: History, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the paradigms, challenges, and prospects of history education in Ethiopia since the early 20th century. The reason why I chose the early 20th century is that it was the landmark for launching modern education in Ethiopia in general and history education in particular. To construct this paper from a historical point of view, I rigorously examined the scholarly research books, journals, articles, theses, and other significant historical materials from a historical point of view. Therefore, I attempted to clarify, the evolution of history education in Ethiopia, the paradigm shifts that history has undergone through the passage of time, and the major challenges and prospects of history education in Ethiopia in the past three regimes.
