dc.description.abstract | The local history is part of many aspects of historical reality and constitutes a new
proposal in the teaching of History, in Primary and Secondary Education as well,
involving multiple instructive and learning benefits. For this reason, this dissertation aims
to the creation of educational material for the local history of Florina, available to
teachers who wish to deal with the history of the city and the wider region of Florina.
More analytically, the present work is constituted by two sections. The first part
includes the theoretical framework and information with regard to the history of Florina
as well, during the Ottoman domination (approximately 1385-1912). The second part
includes fifteen (15) worksheets which refer to four thematic units: a) the urban plan of
Florina – the constitution of the wider region, b) the Christian monuments during the
Ottoman domination, c) the Islamic monuments during the Ottoman domination and d)
the Macedonian Struggle.
It should be also clarified that the proposed worksheets, were not delivered to
students, due to certain practical impediments that came up. However, the teaching
material was made with assiduity and they were revised by my supervisor professor, Mr.
Kasvikis Konstantinos, so as to correspond successfully in a future implementation by
students of 5th or 6th class of primary school. It’s a pity that regions with so rich cultural
and historical heritage, like Florina, are not so developed and left to decline their
monuments with the byway of years. | el_GR |
