title = "Testing frame of reference knowledge in national examinations: report on an experiment in the Netherlands",
abstract = "During the nineteen nineties, national debates about {\textquoteleft}new history teaching{\textquoteright} in the Netherlands – like in many other western countries – led to political pressure demanding more {\textquoteleft}factual knowledge{\textquoteright}. The commission which was given the task of developing a new national curriculum, however, did not produce the required list of names and dates of important historical events and personalities, but put forward the idea of {\textquoteleft}frame of reference knowledge{\textquoteright} which could support historical orientation in time. Testing frame of reference knowledge meant a completely new paradigm for the national examinations. The article reports about a pilot project with this new type of examination.",
