Abstract

Can thinking historically about the present help to form critical thought in the different stages of the educational cycle? This paper gives an affirmative reply and seeks to justify it by studying a specific case: populism. The advantages of applying the methodology of current history are quite obvious, although the difficulties that arise in such application cannot be concealed. This study concludes with some considerations about the social function that learning based on this set of interpretative tools can have for citizens’ education.

Keywords: Learning, democracy, didactics, history, critical thinking, populism.
