Title: | The Edge of the “Stone Raft”. From euro-enthusiasm to moderate scepticism in Portuguese History textbooks (2000-2020) | Authors: | Neto, Sérgio Serrano, Clara Isabel Calheiros da Silva de Melo |
Keywords: | Portugal; Contemporary History; Education; Textbooks Analysis; European Union; EU’s Perceptions | Issue Date: | 2023 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Rubrica Contemporanea | Volume: | 12 | Issue: | 23 | Abstract: | This paper aims to study how issues related to the European Economic Community/European Union (EEC/EU) are presented in Portuguese 9th-grade History textbooks. The methodological approach is mainly qualitative, based on a content analysis of ten textbooks, but some quantitative data was also considered in order to determine the importance given to the EEC/EU construction process and Portugal’s integration into it. It can be concluded that although the history textbooks contain some information about the political construction process, the institutions of the EEC/EU and its economic and social policies, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of Portugal’s integration into the EU, the information is mainly presented from a linear perspective and does not prioritise the development of students’ critical thinking. This study also points to a predominance of content related to national citizenship, the concept of European citizenship being presented in a brief and normative way. Our intention, in the near future, is to expand on this study, with a comparative study between Portugal and Spain, thus encompassing the stone raft. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/112952 | ISSN: | 2014-5748 | DOI: | 10.5565/rev/rubrica.270 | Rights: | openAccess |
