description There has been considerable interest in the topic of conceptual understanding especially as found in mathematics and the sciences. The present paper discusses recent studies related to conceptual understanding in the domain of history, comparing the nature of understanding as found in history to that other domains. Included are considerations of the role of the sources of historical knowledge, narrativization, causation and explanation. In addition, it is pointed out that conceptual change in history may differ from that in the sciences because of the former's emphasis upon the motives of people and the central role of the historian. Un intérêt considérable s'est récemment développé à propos de la compréhension des changements conceptuels, notamment en mathématiques et dans les sciences. Dans cet article, c'est le problème de la compréhension de l'histoire qui est abordé et comparé à la compréhension dans d'autres domaines. On examine en particulier le rôle des sources de la connaissance historique, de la narrativisation, de la causalité et de l'explication. On attire en outre l'attention sur le fait qu'une différence importante entre les changements de conceptualisation dans les sciences et en histoire tient à ce que dans ce dernier domaine les motifs des acteurs historiques et le rôle central de l'historien occupent une place importante.
