Despite the huge gap between the practices of the historical discipline and what is possible in school history, Seixas was convinced that historical thinking can make an important contribution to the teaching of history by using and conceptualizing the tools, processes and ways of historical thinking that help students understand who they are, where they are and what they can do (as individuals, as members of multiple intersecting groups, and as citizens with roles or responsibilities in a complex, conflict-ridden and rapidly changing world). To meet these important challenges, new theoretical, empirical and practical advances are required.More theoretical work is needed to articulate the purposes of history teaching that can be applied in multiple contexts and accommodate diverse forms of historical consciousness.
