This exploratory study is part of a post-doctoral project investigating how Brazilian and Portuguese textbooks present slavery and the slavery trade, as well as how Portuguese students interpret these issues, particularly when they use the sources in their textbooks. A group of 8th-grade students (aged 13–14) from a school in northern Portugal was asked to reflect on the meaning of slavery and its potential con...
Angola is carrying out a process of curricular transformation of Primary and Secondary Education, in order to improve the educational quality. This process will certainly be enriched by studies that can support it. In this sense, and framed within the scope of Historical Education, this article presents a case study in a public primary school in the province of conceptions and practices of teachers of the 5th a...

This study aims at understanding how the master narratives conveyed by the national accounts given by 14 to 18-year-old Spanish and Portuguese students converge or differ from one another and how they relate to national identity and temporal orientation. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative approach inspired by Grounded Theory. The results suggest a parallel but conceptually convergent schematic templ...

Como Pinar (2015) e Santomé (2017), reconhecemos, neste trabalho, que a história é um elemento inequívoco no âmbito da educação para a cidadania, porém denotando que, a este nível, as restantes áreas curriculares não podem ser menosprezadas. O ensino da história, também associado a outras ciências sociais, assente em determinadas intencionalidades (Prats, 2006) pode, de facto, contribuir para uma educação democ...
Las pruebas de evaluación externa son una preocupación para los profesores, reconociendo su implicación directa en las prácticas pedagógico-curriculares, es decir, en Historia, valorando conceptos sustantivos. Sin embargo, para la experiencia de la educación histórica actual será fundamental un conocimiento más asociado a conceptos de segundo orden. Para este análisis centrado en la realidad portuguesa, se reco...
