A pilot study (56KB PDF will load in a new browser window and requires Adobe Acrobat ® Reader) by the Ohio Historical Society shows that students who participate in National History Day in Ohio receive higher scores on the Ohio Graduation Test, appreciate history more, and develop a better ability to think critically than students who did not participate in the program.
National History Day is a year-long educational program where students in grades 6-12 employ history research methods to investigate topics related to a specific theme. They then present their work through exhibits, performances, documentaries, research papers or web sites. Students may enter their projects in regional and state competitions, and the top two in each category move on to compete in the national competition.
