Narativitatea în predarea și învățarea istoriei
Narrativity in Teaching and Learning History

Summary/Abstract: One of the problems of History teaching is the relationship between information and the way it is conveyed to the students. Drawing on the theories of the narrative, the paper explores the way in which this approach is indicative of the peculiarities of historical texts. The significance of the topic is illustrated by the fact that many (if not most) theories related to the narrative include a discussion on the typical texts produced by historians, in order to identify similarities and differences with the literary text. This is an important point, since the narrative seems to be the foundation of intelligible communication (i.e., conveying meaning). The result is the fact that historical texts are at the same time a means to communicate facts, meanings and (personal) interpretations. This result is capable of providing teachers with approaches that foster historical understanding, literacy, and develop linguistic and critical thinking skills.
