El interés del profesorado en formación en impartir nuevos contenidos históricos en Educación Primaria. Un caso de estudio en Madrid

Abstract

The aim of this work is exposing an analysis of the historical contents that students of the bachelor’s degree in Primary Education would like to teach when they become teachers in a school. First, the impact of new historiographical trends in the teaching of History is studied, and if they are of interest to future teachers. Through a sample of 118 participants from the Complutense University of Madrid, with forms that offer quantitative and qualitative data, we obtain significant results on the future of History teaching. These results reveal a profound division between the curricular contents and the motivation of the students who want to teach certain topics, being the resolution of social problems the most demanded, for connecting the past and the present.
