註釋The birth of the American Republic was indeed a "shot heard round the world." Not only was it of major international significance a:t the time, but it remains an event of continuing interest and influence in the contemporary world. It is therefore not surprising that the American Revolution is included in the curriculum of the school systems of most nations. This set of selections from the history texts of 13 of these nations is not the first nor will it be the last effort by educators to gather the curricular perceptions of other countries about key events or periods in American history. Indeed, as the appendix reveals, the Office of Education published its first report more than 80 years ago on how the American Revolutionary War was taught in the schools of other nations. The particular merit of the present compilation is that it provides American teachers with valuable contemporary source material not otherwise readily available for teaching about the American Revolution, especially during the period of the Bicentennial Celebration. Teachers interested in inquiry learning, a comparative approach to history, and/or international understanding can utilize the collection in a variety of ways to help students develop their analytical skills and broaden their understanding of American history and of factors which contribute to intercultural communication.
