La enseñanza de la historia en la escuela desde la construcción del pensamiento histórico

Abstract

History is something inherent to the human being, for this reason, its teaching in the classroom is urgently needed to contribute to the development of competent citizens in historical thinking so that, situating themselves in the present, they analyze the past critically and project themselves into the future. Since, through work practices, it was possible to observe the development of educational events in the subject of Social Studies in various educational institutions, in which the prevalence of a traditional teaching of History that enhances the memorization and repetition of information was verified, which generally causes students to lose interest in learning it. Under this background, this monographic research arises, which aims to demonstrate bibliographically how historical thinking is constructed for the teaching of an alternative History in school. To achieve this objective, a descriptive documentary research was carried out in different sources of bibliographic information such as: academic articles, research, books and academic documents, with the information obtained organized into three chapters. In the first chapter the competencies of historical thought are addressed, later in the second chapter the term History and its implications in education are alluded to, and in the third chapter a proposal is made for strategies that develop historical thought in the teaching of the history.
