ABSTRACT: The focus of this study was to investigate
whether there were differences between the way in-field and out-of-field
teachers in Malaysian secondary schools perceived and practiced History
education, and the way their students perceived the teaching and learning of
History.Both, teacher and student
data were examined. A statistical analysis was conducted to validate the survey
and test the relationships between variables. The results showed that there
were significant differences between in-field and out-of-field teachers in the
teacher characteristics of experience and student variables of classroom
climate and History learning outcomes, but not on teaching approaches and
methods.
