Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the phrase "structure of the disciplines," a phrase currently in vogue in educational circles. My intent is to explore the meaning or meanings of structure, with specific attention to the ramifications for history. I hope to lend some insight into answering the following questions. To what are we referring as structure of a discipline? Must every discipline have a structure? What is the educational value of structure? Lastly, what is the structure of history?
