Abstract There are many articles on how children learn clock, calendar, and historical time skills and concepts. Few attempts have been made, however, to explain the relationships between learning time and learning history. Research on children's understanding of time, and three views of how this understanding affects their understanding of history, are presented. It is suggested that each of the three views implies a different conception of effective instruction in history. Finally, an alternative view of how temporal and historical understandings affect the teaching of history called the developmental-historical time view is proposed.
