Critical citizenship education must consider the global and digital context in which we live. Digital media and global processes have a decisive influence on people’s daily lives. However, digital ...literacy programs rarely go beyond teaching technological skills. Similarly, critical thinking approaches to education focus on developing cognitive skills, omitting the weight of values and emotions in decision making. This research analyses Spanish secondary school students’ narratives and reflections about two publications on Twitter that present biased information to encourage undemocratic attitudes. The results show that most students are far from being critical of the information they read on the internet, and they easily fall into the trap of defending undemocratic discourses.
O ensino de ciências sociais tem sido objeto de um intenso debate acadêmico nos últimos anos, especialmente em países que vivenciaram experiências antidemocráticas na segunda metade do século XX. ...Nesta direção, as ciências sociais são percebidas como parte relevante do currículo escolar, assumindo centralidade na discussão acerca da formação cidadã, especialmente num contexto de intensas transformações sociais, políticas e culturais. No presente dossiê elaboramos um recorte para o mundo Ibero Latino Americano almejando captar as diferentes experiências no currículo de ciências sociais, englobando tanto o currículo na educação, quanto na formação de professores. As discussões aqui congregadas abarcam as realidades dos seguintes países: Argentina, Brasil, Colômbia, Espanha, Portugal e Uruguai, de tal modo que almejamos também internacionalizar o debate, contribuindo para maior visibilidade da revista no âmbito nacional e internacional.
RESUMEN En este trabajo analizamos los currículums de historia de tres países: España, Portugal e Inglaterra. El análisis se realiza siguiendo un mismo esquema interpretativo, primero una descripción ...del contexto y de la tradición curricular, después diferentes elementos del currículum: finalidades, escalas temporales y espaciales, contenidos y enfoque metodológico. Para analizar cada caso hemos escogido la etapa educativa de educación secundaria obligatoria de cada país, aunque no en todos los casos coinciden las edades con exactitud. Entre cada país existen diferencias evidentes, tanto en el proceso de elaboración y debate sobre el currículum, como en las prioridades del mismo. Hemos focalizado nuestra atención en cuestiones como la concepción inherente en cada currículum sobre el papel del profesorado en tomar decisiones sobre qué y cómo enseñar, la utilidad de la historia para comprender el mundo actual, la formación del pensamiento histórico, así como la relación entre la educación histórica y la educación para la ciudadanía. Por último, comprendemos las diferencias que existen entre los mismos, por tradición y por contexto social, pero percibimos semblanzas y diferencias, pero sobretodo problemas comunes que cada país afronta con propuestas distintas.
ABSTRACT We examine the curricula in three different countries: Spain, Portugal and England. We first provide a description of the context and its curricular tradition. We then examine the aims, the historical and geographical scales, the programmes of study and the pedagogical approaches. We focus on secondary education, although age groups are not entirely coincident. There are apparent differences related to curricula development, critical debates, and priorities. We prioritise examining the role of teachers, the use of history to approach contemporary debates, and the relationship between history and citizenship education. Although there are significant differences, there are also similarities in the way each country approaches common issues.
RESUMO Com este trabalho analisamos os currículos de história em três países: Espanha, Portugal e Inglaterra. A análise segue o mesmo esquema interpretativo: primeiro, uma descrição do contexto e da tradição curricular; depois, diferentes elementos do currículo: finalidades, escalas temporais e espaciais, conteúdos e propostas metodológicas. Para analisar cada um dos casos escolhemos o ciclo do ensino secundário de cada país, ainda que não haja uma coincidência exata de idades entre eles. Entre os países existem diferenças evidentes, tanto no processo de elaboração e debate sobre o currículo, como nas prioridades apontadas. Focamos a nossa atenção em questões como a concepção subjacente a cada currículo, sobre o papel do professor na tomada de decisões, o quê e o como ensinar, a utilidade da história para compreender o mundo atual, a formação do pensamento histórico e a educação para a cidadania. Por último, compreendemos as diferenças que existem entre os currículos, por tradição e por contexto social, mas percebemos semelhanças e diferenças e, principalmente, problemas comuns que cada país enfrenta com propostas diferenciadas.
The emergence and expansion of social networks in the digital age has led to social transformations that have a great impact within the field of education. Teacher-training programs face the ...challenge of preparing future teachers to critically interpret digital media. They must succeed in this if we are to develop citizens who are well informed and reflective, which then raises the question: Are future teachers critical thinkers? This study took third- and fourth-year students of primary education (n = 322) at five Spanish universities and explored their capacity for constructing critical discourses. It examined how well they can analyze and discuss information from digital media on social problems like poverty, economic crises, social justice, and the media. Its findings reveal that future teachers have difficulty in putting together critical discourses based on information from the Internet on social problems. Those who have doubts, compare, analyze, and reason are the minority.

Abstract
Hate speech has become a social problem that needs to be addressed urgently. In many cases, these discourses and ideologies arrive through the media and the internet, and they are ...transferred to educational contexts. Debates of this type should be addressed at school and should be channelled into a democratic debate, and into the definition of shared objectives through the development of counterspeeches and alternative narratives based on Human Rights. In this research, we investigate the capacity of future teachers (
n
= 114) to identify online hate speech and how they develop counterspeeches. The results show that the majority are able to identify hate speech. However, future teachers present more difficulties developing counterspeeches or complex alternative narratives, which can be transferred to educational practices. We conclude that teacher training needs to be redesigned if we want them to be able to face these problems in their future educational practice.
We live in a global society in which conflicts arise from the non-acceptance of existing diversity. To achieve more inclusive and fair societies, it is necessary that education and, specifically, ...Social Sciences, attend to the development of identities from the school itself. We present a qualitative case study with Primary Education teachers in initial training at two Spanish universities: the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the University of Seville. By means of a questionnaire with open and closed questions, we explored the representations of future teachers on the construction of their identity, as well as their practical perspectives on the approach to identities in the primary classroom. Quantitative and qualitative techniques were used for data analysis. The most relevant results of the study indicate that in the two cases analyzed the students have a mixed perspective on the construction of their identities, in which the elements linked to local, social, and linguistic contexts are more important. In relation to the approach to identities in the classroom, there are some differences and similarities between the groups that make us reflect on the need to promote a model of initial training that links the teaching of identities not only with knowledge of our present and past, but also with social transformation and the future.
El artículo presenta una revisión bibliográfica en que analiza la relación entre la enseñanza de la historia oral y el concepto de experiencia histórica (EH1). Pretende comprender de qué manera la ...historia oral, como estrategia educativa, se puede convertir en EH para el alumnado. Para ello, primero se aborda el concepto de EH desde las aportaciones filosóficas e historiográficas, siendo definida como una pre-estructura del conocimiento y como una realidad vivida del sujeto. Luego, se realiza una transposición hacia la didáctica de las ciencias sociales en forma de propuesta que incluye tres dimensiones: vivencial, cognitiva y aplicada. Se considera que la experiencia puede ser considerada histórica cuando las vivencias trascienden el pasado y son utilizadas para construir el conocimiento y hacer proyecciones al futuro. En los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, la EH permite al alumnado validar el protagonismo histórico de cualquier sujeto, interpretar, evaluar la información, definir significados históricos de manera autónoma y proponer cambios para el futuro. Finalmente, se realiza una revisión de los debates existentes sobre la historia oral y la memoria histórica, sintetizando los principales aportes y limitaciones para el aprendizaje y vinculándola con el desarrollo de las diferentes dimensiones de la EH.
1 El concepto de experiencia histórica será presentado mediante la abreviatura EH.
This article describes a study conducted in Catalonia (Spain) that examines the dimensions of global citizenship education (GCE) that emerge when secondary school students analyse images taken from ...the digital platforms of the mainstream media. We followed a mixed methodology for the research. To analyse the data, we employed content analysis, in the form of descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that students in the final year of compulsory secondary education (aged 15–16) have great difficulty with analysing the information and images contained in media from a global citizenship perspective. While students tend to adopt a perspective of social responsibility, they do not have the tools necessary for critical interpretation of social facts and problems; they are still less able to formulate arguments or make decisions relating to actions within the parameters of social justice.
En los diferentes países europeos se presentan distintas maneras de proyectar la Educación para la Ciudadanía. Aun así, se desarrollan sobre unas bases compartidas: la defensa de los derechos humanos ...o la educación para la paz, entre otras. Estas diferencias están marcadas por las distintas tradiciones en cultura o en la historia democrática de los diferentes estados, así como por las diferentes perspectivas ideológicas con las que se entiende la democracia y la educación. El Consejo de Europa promueve algunas directrices generales para poder incorporar en los diferentes currículos de los países la Educación para la Ciudadanía, en la actualidad, a partir de una propuesta de Competencias de Cultura Democrática. Algunos estudios revelan que la Educación para la Ciudadanía está presente en los distintos currículos, así como la escala europea y global. En todos los países la formación del profesorado se considera la clave para poder implementar los programas con éxito, para hacer frente a los retos actuales, como son el aumento de los discursos del odio y discriminatorios, la disminución de la participación ciudadana o la convivencia intercultural.
In this article we analyze how a group of Catalan students (aged 11-13, N = 245) narrate the history of Catalonia and we compare their narratives with the official Catalan narrative. From an ...interpretative approach, we collect data by requiring the students to write down what they remember about the history of Catalonia. The research is conducted by means of narrative analysis and normative content analysis. Our results suggest that most students’ narratives are similar to the official narrative in terms of the main characters and events selected and follow the patriotic national narrative by highlighting the relevance of Catalan national symbols. We discuss the implications of this patriotic national narrative in Catalonia and elsewhere, and we propose replacing patriotic national narratives with humanistic world history narratives.
