Abstract

This paper presents the main findings of a qualitative research project. The aim of the research was to explore undergraduate students' perceived knowledge acquisition and awareness of the Holocaust, after visiting Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. The qualitative study (focus groups & semi-structured questionnaires) involved three cohorts of students and lecturers from a university in the North West of England. The participants visited the Holocaust-related sites in Poland from 2016 to 2019. Findings indicate that students' who actively engaged in visits to Holocaust related sites developed knowledge and awareness of the Holocaust. For many participants, this knowledge and awareness was facilitated via a reflective process that enabled empathic connection between these historical events and the students. The study also highlighted practical strategies that could be implemented to enhance the experience for future cohorts of undergraduate students visiting holocaust related sites. By adding to the limited literature on Holocaust education with undergraduate students, the study highlighted the importance and directions for future research in this area to inform future pedagogic practice.

“参观大屠杀遗址对大学生学习过程的影响”。
本文介绍了一个定性研究项目的主要发现。本研究旨在探讨大学生在参观波兰奥斯维辛集中营后对大屠杀的认知知识获取和意识。定性研究(焦点小组和半结构化问卷调查)涉及来自英格兰西北部一所大学的三组学生和讲师。参与者于2016年至2019年期间访问了波兰的大屠杀相关遗址。调查结果表明,积极参与参观大屠杀相关遗址的学生发展了对大屠杀的知识和认识。对于许多参与者来说,这种知识和意识是通过一个反思过程来促进的,这个过程使这些历史事件和学生之间产生了共鸣。该研究还强调了可以实施的实际战略,以提高未来本科生群体访问大屠杀相关地点的经验。通过补充关于本科生大屠杀教育的有限文献,该研究强调了这一领域未来研究的重要性和方向,为未来的教学实践提供信息。

期刊介绍: Innovative Higher Education is a refereed scholarly journal that strives to package fresh ideas in higher education in a straightforward and readable fashion. The four main purposes of Innovative Higher Education are: (1) to present descriptions and evaluations of current innovations and provocative new ideas with relevance for action beyond the immediate context in higher education; (2) to focus on the effect of such innovations on teaching and students; (3) to be open to diverse forms of scholarship and research methods by maintaining flexibility in the selection of topics deemed appropriate for the journal; and (4) to strike a balance between practice and theory by presenting manuscripts in a readable and scholarly manner to both faculty and administrators in the academic community.
