Abstract

MONTANARES-VARGAS, Elizabeth Gloria. Chilean students and the teaching of history in conflict zone. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.1237-1250. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1523015072016.

This article analyzes the beliefs of secondary students in Araucania, Chile regarding the teaching of the history of their region. This knowledge would contribute valuable content for the programs in this sector so that students could understand the violence that they are currently experiencing in this region. The authors used a socio-cultural learning theory and qualitative-descriptive methodology to design a semi-structured interview guide, an instrument that was applied with secondary students in the region. The analysis produced the conclusion that students value the teaching of local history, recognizing that the main source of knowledge of this history comes from their families and not the school.

Keywords : history education; culture; learning.
