Abstract

Effective History teaching remains a major concern for most of History teachers. This is because most of history teachers do not adopt appropriate methods in teaching history.Because of this, students describe history as a boring and monotonous subject. There is usually a complaint against the teaching of history that past events are narrated in it, dates are often mentioned as a result of which the teaching becomes very dry and insolent. Because since ancient times, the teacher taught the subject of history orally which kept the student as a passive listener, but due to modern teaching being student centered, the latest tools and methods can be used to make history teaching more simple and effective. So that students can increase their interest in history. It is a pleasure to teach and learn history. Arts, science, technology, economic, and social perspectives are all part of history. The roots of every subject are hidden in history. All these together make history an independent subject. This is why history is often called the queen or mother of social sciences. This article presents a vision to improve history teaching in higher education and talks about finding the best strategies in the classroom for an effective teaching and learning.
