“…In oral history projects, students are supposed to adopt the ways in which historians work by researching the historical context; conducting, transcribing, analyzing, and interpreting the interview; and presenting the results. In the oral history approach, working like a historian is believed to engage and inspire students and spark their interest in history (e.g., Boyd, Fernheimer, & Dixon, 2015;Lanman & Wendling, 2006a; C. R. Lee & Nasstrom, 1998;Peniston-Bird, 2009;Ritchie, 2011;Whitman, 2004Whitman, , 2011.…”

The present study examined the effectiveness of the oral history approach with respect to students' historical competence. A total of 35 ninth-grade classes (N = 900) in Germany were randomly assigned to one of four conditions-live, video, text, or a (nontreated) control group-in a pretest, posttest, and follow-up design. Comparing the three intervention groups with the control group, the intervention groups scored better on four of the five achievement tests. Comparing the live group with the video and text groups, students in the live condition were more convinced of their learning progress at both measurement points. However, they scored lower than the video/text group on two achievement measures and higher on one at the posttest.
