Abstract

The paper analyzes how social science educators make use of cultural heritage resources in teaching history. For a case study, we have selected the Department of Geography and History of the Azorín Secondary Education Institute, located in Yecla (Murcia, Spain). The purpose of this study is to determine the methodologies, perspectives and evaluations of cultural heritage elements, carried out by teachers, as well as their insertion in the teaching and learning process of the social sciences. This research is organized from a series of semi-structured interviews, and we focus on recognizing the strategies, insights and suggestions for improvement raised by the teachers at the secondary education institute.
