Abstract

IBAGON MARTIN, Nilson Javier. Teach the history of recent internal armed conflicts: review of experiences in Africa, Europe, Middle East and America. Rev. Guillermo Ockham [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.1, pp.103-114.  Epub Jan 14, 2021. ISSN 1794-192X.  https://doi.org/10.21500/22563202.4404.

From a literature review investigation, this article analyzes how some societies that have recently gone through internal armed conflicts, deal with the challenge of teaching new generations the history of this difficult and traumatic past. From this perspective, investigative findings produced during the 2004-2019 period are approached, around teaching experiences from countries located in Africa, America, the Middle East and Europe. Through this exercise, a series of difficulties, challenges and possibilities are identified in the school systems of these countries, around the development of speeches and practices that allow consolidating critical reconciliation processes from the teaching of history. In this sense, it is argued that historical education in post-conflict contexts can provide cognitive, ethical and political training elements, basic in the projection of a peaceful present and future.

Keywords : history teaching; armed conflict; curriculum; violence; peace.
