Summary/Abstract: History education is one of the most important and current issues that contributes to the development of the skills of the active and responsible citizen, focusing on Constructivist ideas, where learning is seen as a construct and not a mere transmission of information to be received passively. The curriculum developed for the World History and History of the Romanians school discipline is part of the National Curriculum and represents a regulatory document intended to be implemented in secondary and high school classes. Curricular development in this subject is a necessity dictated by updated standards in historical education and changes occurred with the adoption of the educational paradigm focusing on the student and Child-Friendly School. The curriculum for World History and History of the Romanians includes all the essential, relevant parts of the reality of education in the school, both in terms of representation theory, as well as the practical work being carried out, resulting in a constant reassessment and redesign of the latter. It also substantiates and guides the activity of the teacher, facilitates the creative approach of the didactic design approaches of long and short duration, but also of the actual implementation of the teaching-learning-evaluation process. The curriculum meets the current requirements of training/development of specific competences by the discipline, connected to the graduate profile. This school discipline has its own valences in the formation of specific competences. They are developed from the perspective of lifelong learning, through learning, whether formal, non-formal, or informal, in all contexts, including the family, school, workplace, neighborhood, and community.
