Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the methodology for avoiding indoctrination in teaching history through analyzing "A New History of the United States" (11th Grade). This study clarifies the following two important methodological viewpoints for students to study history critically. (1) To learn different viewpoints gradually and to interpret history by using them in order to avoid students shaping narrow and deterministic perspectives. (2) To set the process in which students constantly identify and examine social scientific theory underpinning their own or other's historical interpretations.
