Abstract	Students in Cambridgeshire comprehensive schools and in Yamanashi junior high schools aged between 12 and 13 years were given the same questionnaires which explored their views on the nature of history and their experience of history teaching methods. They undertook a test on the creative use of four historical pictures dealing with life for black South Africans in the 1970s, a topic which none had studied at school.... In spite of the fact that the use of sources and empathetic historical thinking do not form part of the Japanese historical curriculum, the Japanese students did not perform significantly worse than the English, for whom the interrogation of sources and the deployment of creative thinking are a normal part of the history curriculum.
