Focus on concepts and study tips

Since 2000 and the new specifications
the place of concepts in History work has
received more explicit recognition in
AS/A study. Concepts have a function of
glue in the assembly of narrative History
and they are major categories in analysis.

Confused student judgements can be

traced to misunderstood concepts.
At Sempringham we identified the central
importance of concepts from the
beginning in 1987 and worked our way
through relevant concepts [please see list
in the column, right]. Some of the short
concept articles are more challenging:
our questions and answers file are our
way to help students assimilate a
concept’s key features.
Don’t forget Concepts and their importance in History
