El Historiador :: Historia en el aula :: Ahora hay otras formas de enseñar hi... - 0 views

  • El pasado es omnipresente, no necesita manifestarse. Todo lo que nos rodea, cosas, sitios, personas tienen un pasado. Aprender a analizarlo, a comprenderlo e investigarlo nos permite afirmar nuestra identidad o sentir la necesidad de modificarla. El estudio de la Historia proporciona el acceso a conocimientos y la posibilidad de cuestionarlos.
    • Fátima Caballero
       
      Es complicado lograr este vínculo entre el estudiante de historia y la Historia. Aun cuando se intente ir del presente hacia el pasado, este vaivén es difícil para el profesor y alumno.
  • Entender que la Historia no es un objeto científico sino cultural es el primer paso que un alumno debe dar para dejar de percibir a la disciplina como algo ajeno a su realidad. Las preguntas que el pasado despierta en cada individuo pueden ser personales, pero los pasados comunes generan preguntas comunes. Recuperar esta interacción entre la Historia y la persona es quizás una de las tareas más difíciles en un colegio.

  • Para comprender por qué la cultura y la organización de la sociedad es como es en el presente, es necesario conocer y comprender su pasado. La Historia estudia el pasado. Pero para comprender el pasado no alcanza con conocer los hechos que sucedieron, los personajes que los protagonizaron y las fechas en que ocurrieron.
