Abstract

This article critically considers the National Curriculum for History and its Schemes of Work's usage of subjective and conventional temporal phrases. In light of the findings from a current research study it examines whether the employment ofsubjective temporal phrases as a replacement for conventional dating systems misses a valuable opportunity to develop primary aged children's concepts of historical time.
