Abstract

This work investigates the possibilities of historical empathy to motivate students and achieve a learning based on a deep understanding of history, avoiding mnemonic and superficial learning.  To this end, historical empathy activities were implemented in secondary classrooms. Their application is analyzed by defining levels of understanding of the historical context and by collecting data on the motivational capacity of these activities.
