Abstract

The twenty-first century has posited a number of challenges to educational systems worldwide. Therefore, curricula have been revised and updated. To this effect, the Ministry of Education (Mineduc) in Chile has encouraged the intensification of critical thinking in school subjects. For History courses, this skill is closely related to the strengthening of “Historical thinking”. 


This paper is aimed at presenting the results of a research carried out using the action-research methodology. It involved applying two Project Zero thinking routines, which allow to work iconographic sources in History lessons, thereby strengthening students’ visible, critical language and culture.
