Memoria histórica del conflicto armado en Colombia. Un ejercicio de construcción desde el aula de clase

Abstract

Actualmente, es de vital importancia, en sociedades que han sido afectadas por el conflicto armado, recurrir a la memoria histórica para establecer dinámicas de recordación y no repetición de hechos que han marcado negativamente la historia de las comunidades. El caso del conflicto armado en nuestro país, es un ejemplo claro, de cómo diferentes actores han confluido en una confrontación que aún hoy persiste. Sin embargo, en un periodo de postacuerdo como en el que nos encontramos, es fundamental buscar estrategias desde el aula, que permitan a los estudiantes construir memoria histórica del conflicto, allanando un camino para fortalecer los lazos de convivencia pacífica en sociedades marcadas por la violencia. Currently, it is of vital importance, in societies that have been affected by the armed conflict, to resort to historical memory to establish remembrance-and-non-repetition dynamics for events that have negatively marked the history of the communities. The case of the armed conflict in our country is a clear example of how different actors have come together in a confrontation that still persists today. Nevertheless, in a post-agreement period such as the one in which we find ourselves, it is fundamental to look for strategies from the classroom, which allow students to build a historical memory of the conflict, paving a way to strengthen ties of peaceful coexistence in societies marked by violence. Based on this purpose, a didactic sequence was designed in the area of Social Sciences, mediated by strategies based on inquiry and applied to a group of 11th grade students, during the 2017 school year. From the study of a particular case as "The tragedy of Trujillo", this work sought to generate dynamics that promote the construction of historical memory and greater knowledge of the Colombian armed conflict.
