The studying with topics is the method that students can take the lead in class, and can know synthetically the mutual relation of historical facts. Because they can apply fragmentary knowledge to a topic. That method is distinguished from the studying with the theme which is extracted from inclusively, scientifically, and structurally important concepts. It means that students themselves select, and study something with historical value among topics they are interested in. The procedure of the studying with topics is firstly that teachers select a central topic among topics students decided in order to know the general historical feature. Secondly, students compose small topics on the basis of a central topic, and draw up the topic network Thirdly, they form a unit, and make a plan for the studying with topics. The studying with topics is required a close attention in a project. Because it means that together teachers with students should reconstitute a education substance, while subject education means that a education substance is already decided in accordance with units. The lesson hours is not fixed fifty minutes. Teachers should regard the total studying hours for some topics as a unit. They should give notice of a central topic to students before a week Only if it is that way, students can rehearsal. Teachers should inform students of a bibliography, a data, etc. It is effective that students utilize the audio-visual materials such as slide, movie, video, and OHP. It is desirable that teachers mark continually in class. The standard of an assessment is whether students achieve a subject with human and material resources or not. To form the positive self it should be graded and commented positively. To be effective the studying with topics, teachers should know a topic which students are concerned about, and are interested in. And they should research various studying methods, and should have a profound knowledge about all of the history.
