Abstract

To make historical consciousness beneficial for history education research, we need to disentangle its multidisciplinary backgrounds so that contradictory approaches and outcomes can be avoided. The aim of this article is to clarify the enigma of its different paradigms. We will discuss two interrelated paradigms: one interpreting historical consciousness as a collective phenomenon characteristic of modern Western society, and the other treating historical consciousness on an individual level as a cognitive-epistemological category. We will show that several misunderstandings in educational research about historical consciousness result from the conflation of both conceptualizations and their underlying paradigms. Yet, by highlighting Hans-Georg Gadamer's notion of Wirkungsgeschichte (historical effect), we will argue that both conceptualizations are not entirely mutually exclusive. Including historically effected consciousness in the notion of historical consciousness offers a wide range of opportunities for history education scholars as well as history educators.
