Teaching History in basic school seeks to
ensure that students:

home area, Estonia, Europe and the world by
knowing the significant events, processes
and persons of a particular period;
3) value cultural diversity and their role
in
preserving
and
carrying
cultural
heritage and define themselves as members
of their nation;
4) find, generalise, interpret, use and
critically judge historical knowledge;
5) use the principal historical terms in
the correct context, differentiate between
historical
facts,
interpretations
and
opinions, observe and articulate problems,
ask
relevant
questions
and
offer
solutions;
6) understand the essence of cause and
consequence, similarity and difference and
continuity and assess the reliability of
sources by analysing historical events,
processes and settings;
7) acknowledge that people, opinions and
situations are different, formulate and
explain
their
opinions,
