This text presents the results of a quantitative research project that uses descriptive statistics to identify the perspectives of a group of middle school students in Bogotá (n = 764), about who, in their opinion, are the most important historical figures from national history. Through the construction of a historical relevance index based on the frequency of evocation and the relevance assigned to each character, a series of principles of historical identity were identified in which they converge, permanence of exemplary / traditional figures associated with the official narrative, and emergencies of new references that represent forces of resistance and denial of hegemonic ideas and social practices. The results show that historical learning not only depends on formal schooling processes, but that it is also structured on the basis of different dimensions that form, and are, an expression of historical culture.

Keywords : Historical significance; identity; historical consciousness; learning history; students; national history; middle education.
