Acciones para el aprendizaje de contenidos histórico-locales en educandos cubanos del nivel educativo primaria.

Abstract

National history, in its connection with local history, serves as an inexhaustible source for transmitting identity values to new generations. Its treatment within educational institutions is a focal point for those who guide the teaching and learning process of this subject matter. One of the approaches that facilitates the learning of local historical content by students is the group educational project. The present research aimed to develop actions for the group educational project of students in the third cycle of the "Manuel Ascunce Domenech" primary school in the Old Havana municipality. The sample was intentionally selected, comprising 29 students whose learning outcomes were not yet satisfactory, as evidenced by systematic and partial evaluations. A range of methods and instruments were employed in data collection to address the identified scientific problem. A questionnaire and a pedagogical test were administered in the initial diagnostic phase. Percentage analysis was used to tabulate the collected information. The weaknesses identified lie in the students' insufficient knowledge of significant local historical facts, phenomena, processes, and figures, which limits their ability to independently solve learning tasks. The actions have been organized in accordance with the three periods of the academic year. These actions allow the student, with the teacher's guidance and the involvement of families and the community, to visit sites of historical and heritage interest and to delve deeper into the history of their locality, thereby facilitating the apprehension of local historical content.
