RIVERO, Pilar and PELEGRIN, Julián. WHAT HISTORY DO FUTURE TEACHERS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION THINK IS RELEVANT?. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2019, vol.49, n.172, pp.96-119. Epub June 26, 2019. ISSN 1980-5314. https://doi.org/10.1590/198053145428.
The present study examines the perception of historical relevance that student teachers of Early Childhood Education have at the University of Zaragoza (Spain). Six hundred and sixty historical stories written by the students are analyzed in conjunction with texts that justify the choice of one historical event or another. The research seeks to determine the major historical contents that are considered relevant and relate them to the typology of the narratives. Historical relevance is a second-order concept of basic historical thinking in Early Childhood Education teacher training as, although the curriculum for this stage does not include historical content, it does include objectives that enable these topics to be addressed.
