| Summary: | This paper discusses Brazilian, Argentine and Uruguayan young people’s conceptions on historical individuals, based on their learning inside and outside school. The data were obtained from the “Youth and History” international research based on questionnaires to 15 year old students and their teachers, using mainly the Likert scale. Theoretically, the research is sustained in the historical consciousness and historical culture concepts, as formulated by the German History Didactics, and also in the political culture concept. The results, in a few words, points that, inside the investigated universe, the so called “important people”, typical of traditional History teaching at schools, are recognized overall when we refer to the nations’ “founding fathers”, but not to individuals who represented alternative possibilities at the national history development. The same happens with feminine personages. Science, technology and inven-tions are taken as a most significant factor of change than the “important people” and these, by their turn, are overcame by the recognized importance of collective movements. |
