Abstract

Asserting that "a defined reason for studying history is just a clear effort to bring ideology or social engineering into curriculum," several educationalists have disputed the idea of defining the aims of history instruction. Few educators would contest the need of history instruction in K–12, college, and university settings. History is the previous actions and creations of humans. Politics, religion, leisure and social activities, and daily living are all included. History should be acknowledged as an essential component of our life as people. The research was conducted to examine the goals and purposes of teaching history, to talk about the moral foundations for teaching history, and to examine how history relates to other topics. The researcher used secondary sources of data since the current study is descriptive in nature. For the necessary information, a variety of books, periodicals, and online sources have been used.
