“…The rapid growth in Spanish universities of the field of social sciences teaching, both in terms of teaching and research in the last two decades has, without a doubt, contributed to the desire for a change in educational model (Miralles et al, 2011;Rodríguez et al, 2020). Indeed, research on the teaching of historical skills has proliferated in Spain (Domínguez, 2015;Jorge and Ramón, 2015;Carretero, 2019) and other countries, such as Portugal (Pinto, 2017;Gago, 2018;Solé and Barca, 2018), the United Kingdom (Chapman, 2011;Cooper, 2018), Canada (Seixas and Morton, 2013;Ercikan and Seixas, 2015), the United States (VanSledright, 2014;Wineburg, 2018) and throughout Ibero-America (Fronza, 2019). All of this has led to the formation of critical and reflexive people, who are so necessary in facing the changing and global reality of the 21st century.…”
