El cine y el audiovisual estratégias didácticas para la enseñanza de la Historia en la educación secundaria: una aproximación teórica y práctica

Abstract

The article analyzes from a theoretical and practical perspective the use of cinema and other audiovisual courses as didactical herramientas for the teaching of history in secondary education. Both topics stand out as cinema facilitates a more accessible and reflexive understanding of the past, promoting critical thinking, the active construction of historical knowledge and the development of digital skills. We are now addressing the issues of teaching history and the importance of using cinema in a structured and conscious way, differentiating between passive and active use and the use of audiovisual in school classrooms. Likewise, different methodologies are presented for integrating cinema into teaching, from simple projection to the production of content by part of the students. The article also exposes the differences between cinema and audiovisual, highlighting the versatility of audiovisual in the educational context. Examples of good practices and concrete experiences are included in how cinema has been used effectively to teach history, promoting audiovisual literacy and critical thinking. Finally, it is concluded that cinema and audiovisual, when used in a critical and structured manner, can transform the teaching of history, fomenting an education more connected with the sociocultural reality of students and developing their analytical and critical skills.
