Innovative Teaching Approaches in History: A Study Based on Four Central Themes

The aim of this paper is to offer an insight into innovative teaching approaches in History, based on the different theoretical perspectives that have been tackled over the last 15 years. In order to achieve this purpose, the paper includes a descriptive summary divided into four central themes (digital tools, new methodologies, transformation of teaching culture and evaluation of innovation), with particular emphasis on a series of concepts and empirical experiences. Among other things, the study reveals that students' motivation is of the upmost importance not only in this study, but also in the education model which is currently being sought implement. When faced, however, with overoptimism and a lack of criticism of said model, there arises the need for a more rigorous discussion to compare innovative discourses and educational practices.
