Abstract

This document collects the results of an investigation related to traditional gastronomic knowledge as a strategy for the development of historical thinking in ninth grade students of the Roque de Alba educational institution, located in the municipality of Villanueva - La Guajira. Its objective was to determine the contributions of the study of traditional gastronomic knowledge to the development of the historical thinking of the students. The methodology is framed in the qualitative approach, socio-critical paradigm and type of study Participatory Action Research (I.A.P), the observation, interview and survey techniques. The instruments applied were the field diary, the unstructured interview and the questionnaire. The results show that historical thinking can be enhanced from didactic strategies that bring students closer to their reality, since making use of local stories, customs and traditions allows an encounter with their history and culture, this makes it possible to change their perception of the subject conceiving it as something scientific and interesting that is part of their own reality. As a conclusion, it was obtained that historical thought is important for the understanding of reality, which can be achieved through the study of the context using methodological strategies such as gastronomy.
