Women and History in Textbooks

The Perception of Students from the BA in Primary Education at Don Bosco Univiersity Centre

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to discover the perception of students from the bachelor’s degree in Primary education regarding the visibility of women in textbooks. We have analysed from a theoretical perspective those concepts that have been considered relevant in order to design a questionnaire that has been applied to a purposive sample made up of two groups of students from the Centro de Enseñanza Superior don Bosco. After the analysis of data, results mostly show a greater interest in Women's History and claim for its inclusion in school materials in a more objective way.
