    Concepts for historical and geographical thinking in Sweden’s and Spain’s Primary Education curricula
    ( Springer Nature, 2020-09-28) Moreno Vera, Juan Ramón; Alvén, Fredrik; Didáctica de las Ciencias Matemáticas y Sociales; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Educación
    The goal of this study is to compare the presence of concepts for historical and geographical thinking in the national curricula for Primary Education in Spain and Sweden in order to analyze if these thinking concepts can enable new active learning methodologies in the Social Science classroom. The comparative study is based on a qualitative investigation using a horizontal evaluation instrument (international compared analysis). Compared items were divided in four dimensions: 1. curriculum structure—subjects, timetable, compulsory, ratio, etc.-, 2. educational methodologies—project-based learning, research, practical lessons-, 3. Objectives and evaluation—aims, evaluation criteria, standards-, and 4. Contents—conceptual, procedural, and attitudinal. The results show that, despite a different structure for the history and geography subjects in Primary Education, neither of the two curricula present historical and geographical thinking concepts as a fundamental aim for Primary Education and, at the same time, the low presence of these thinking concepts is linked to traditional teaching models still based on positivism and memorization.

    Las imágenes de las guerrillas centroamericanas en las redes de la solidaridad internacional de Suecia.
    (2016-10-18) Camacho Padilla, Fernando; Ramírez Palacio, Laura
    Since the mid-sixties, Latin American revolutionary experiences generated great enthusiasm among the Swedish progressive youth. With the aim of exposing the political process and the difficult reality of the marginalized sectors, many citizens of the Nordic country traveled to the region to record and transmit the events. Several photographers were among them, both professional and amateur, who meticulously registered everything they experienced during their journeys. Much of their material was utilized, published and disseminated by the Swedish solidarity committees through various channels, such as posters, newsletters and exhibitions, among others. Furthermore, the revolutionary movements provided their own photographs to Scandinavia, which showed scenes of daily life and the difficult social conditions of their respective country. On one hand, this article examines the arrival and the uses of photographs of Central American revolutionary experiences, mainly from Nicaragua and El Salvador, in Sweden. On the other hand, it is an interpretation of the desired social effect sought by the authors and both political and solidarity organizations that were responsible for their dissemination.
