¿Cómo enseñar la Prehistoria en Educación Infantil? Ideas y recursos de los docentes en formación

Abstract

Prehistory is a period over which has spread numerous alternative ideas, turn there are few studies on how this content is addressed in the different educational stages, especially in Early Childhood Education. Therefore, as part of a multidisciplinary project on how to work this historical period with children, we analyzed on the one hand, what alternative ideas handle 186 future teachers before and after performing the project; and on the other, if they identify what resources are considered valid to work with Prehistory in Childhood Education and the potential of this historical period as interdisciplinary context. Data was collected through pre and posttest questionnaires, and the responses were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that there are changes in the perception that future teachers have about Prehistory, they start recognizing Prehistory as an interdisciplinary context and become more critical selecting the resources for their teaching.
