I was taught this back in the 90s, UK GSCE History so a mandatory class at least for the first 3 years. I can't quite remember if it came later or earlier, but early would make sense.
Consider the source, bias, first hand account / second / here say etc., find and compare multiple sources.
Maybe this isn't common and I was lucky? Maybe it doesn't happen these days. My history teacher was brilliant, one of the few I remember fondly.
