La investigación evaluativa de materiales didácticos para la educación política y ciudadana a través de contenidos históricos

The following article introduces the first results of the research entitled "Development of sociopolitical training for a democratic citizenship: design and implementation of didactic materials in Social Sciences (R & D EDU 2015-65621-C3-3-R)" carried out by the DHIGECS research group in Social Science Didactics at the University of Barcelona. Based on the analysis of previous research, the fundamental role that historical knowledge should have in the construction of the social and citizen dimension in students is emphasized. For this, didactic materials were designed with this objective, which were applied in schools and analyzed through an observational process and a qualitative analysis of the records, with the QSRNVIVO 12 program. The results show the relationship established between the use of active methodologies in the history classroom and the development of cognitive abilities that allow a better development of the political and citizen dimension.
