History to teach, history taught and history learned. Research possibilities in the field of Historical Education in Latin America

Abstract

The present dossier has been set as the main objective to socialize recent research results, in the Ibero-American field, around the problematization and understanding of the relationships that exist between the historical culture and the school culture at the time of defining and understanding the processes of Teaching and learning of history. Although they are registered in diverse national contexts (Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia), the findings and theoretical and practical proposals of academics whose texts make up this thematic number allow us to identify common challenges and possibilities around the strengthening of Historical Education in Latin America; a task that in this context is indispensable when structuring concrete actions that allow facing and overcoming the various attempts at curricular weakening to which the teaching of history has been submitted - understood as school knowledge - during the last decades.
