Historical teachings from decolonial pedagogy. A critique of what is taught in Peru

Abstract

The objective of this work is to broaden Peru’s pedagogical perspectives to enable better teaching and Learning processes that are coherent and democratic with the environment. Decolonial pedagogy is proposed as a way to renew, reconstruct, and politically and socially emancipate humans from the peripheries through reconfiguration and historical visibility that has been neglected by the modern trend. The analysis of the social sciences school text allows for an understanding of traditional historical content and teaching that requires an epistemological change about what to teach in order to break down the verticalism and Western universalization that relegates the historiographies of the Other.
