This paper aims to share some notes taken from our experience teaching a practical history course and promotes the idea of unifying knowledge, sentiment, and meaning as a history teaching philosophy we can actively apply. History education has been criticized as eing nothing but a regurgitation of historical knowledge that does not inspire or enhance stuents' ability to grasp the feeling and meaning of history. This harsh criticism has, eventually, led to advocating improvement in history teaching, and indeed some progress has been made in teaching aspects of methodology and research. However, we have noticed, from our practical teaching experience, that studets' motivation and interest cannot be negleted. An ideal teaching context should emphasize setiment and meaning as well as knowledge in order to achieve the most effective teaching results. The main purpose of unifying knowledge, sentiment, and meaning as well as knowledge in order to achieve the most effective teaching results. The main purpose of unifying knowledge, sentiment, and meaning as into a coherent pedagogical philosophy is to enhance students' learning and to develop in them an unbiased judgment. Therefore, practical history teaching based on such a philosophy should promote the ideal ultimate teaching target, while at the same time preserving a balance among content knowledge, sentiment, and meaning. In this paper we show how our history teaching beliefs have been applied to Chung Hua University history courses.
