History and interest in your knowledge
Introduction
The teaching of history was characterized until just a few years ago, as a school subject whose objective was the transmission of data, the repetition of names of the most prominent characters, the memorization of dates, places and battles. You have to reference who says this or where did you get it. Another characteristic was that it was repeated.
In addition, it was suggested that few facts should be taught, but well selected, having as criteria for this. The teaching of history through names, dates and places remained installed in the classrooms, seemed to have arrived to stay and from there the constant suggestions and recommendations.
Developing
Regarding the methods of teaching history, it was proposed: to link the story with the other subjects, to make sketches;the use of maps for the geographical location of historical facts;In addition to using film projections, to discuss and reflect, among others. The route that leads to quality education has not been found. As a universal history, discipline that aims to offer an integral vision of the human species from the appearance of man to the current era is understood. Economy, politics, culture, religion and in general in all aspects with which various civilizations of the past.
When crossing the threshold of the third millennium, we are plunged into a complex and quite contradictory process called globalization that tends to erase economic, national, ideological and cultural borders. All this constitutes a potentially enriching universal heritage and, therefore, demands a detailed and scrupulous study.
The critical knowledge of history is essential and such must be the purpose of teaching and learning this discipline. How and why the evolution of different civilizations that have converged to the world today. Based on students’ experiences, it is clear that there is a close relationship between universal history and other social disciplines and, in addition, that historical knowledge has a great practical value.
In general terms, the historian’s mission can be formulated as follows: process information about the past, systematize the data, reflect on what happened and then tell it in an understandable way to its contemporaries. Reality, in history as in any other social science, there is no "absolute truth";It does not have Marxism with its exaggerated partisanship, or the objectivism that aims to place the historian outside the space, time and all the ideological and social battles of his time.
conclusion
Interest in historical knowledge is part of everyday life, is a common issue in the media and entertainment such as films, radio and television programs;In addition, it is present in celebrations and public celebrations, it is used in political campaigns and is a fundamental part of the enormous cultural legacy that is transmitted, among other means, through oral tradition. For this reason, students, without being totally aware of it, are configuring a vision of the historical in their life as a member of society that, generally, does not coincide with the school history or the history contained in textbooks.
The contemporary exaggerated forms a certain historical vision: the lack of perspective of the phenomena induces visions from the present of any other fact, even if it is very distant in time. This history perspective, imposed by multiple ideological transmission paths, has promoted a "typical and effective" vision of the past, which plays a pragmatic role of a functionalist nature, being at the service of a "good cause".
