The new paradigms of teaching history in Germany: the reflections of the working group Geschichtsdidaktik theoretisch Arbeitskreis der Konferenz für Geschichtsdidaktik e.V

The transition from the twentieth to the twenty-first century has promoted remarkable social change, especially in recent decades. The economic and socio-political crisis, climate change, immigration, wars, neonationalism, among others, are both political and educational aspects. Teaching history must meet these new challenges and take responsibility as a scientific discipline. In the article we summarize the epistemological debates carried out by the working group Geschichtsdidaktik theoretisch Arbeitskreis der Konferenz für Geschichtsdidaktik eV in March 2019. In these debates, several scientists in the field presented their perspectives on this new paradigm of the social responsibilities of teaching history. These challenges have come to Spain later, but that are still some of the main nuclei of conflict today.
