This paper presents some of the findings of a research that aimed to delve into the ideas of undergraduate students about the recent past of their country. Thus, we delve into the subject of teaching recent history in relation to the perception that undergraduate university students have about the near past of their nation. The text initially presents some theoretical elements about recent history, memory and teaching it; it then describes in detail the qualitative horizon of the methodological strategy and the target population; finally, the article shows some results of the investigation that particularly postulate the importance of violence as an explanatory nucleus of recent history; finally, the paper concludes with a discussion of the results.

Keywords : Teaching recent past; teaching recent history; teaching history; pedagogy of memory; school.
