Primary sources, objects and artefacts to historical interpretation. Design and assessment of a numismatic workshop in Secondary Education

Abstract

This paper presents the design and evaluation of an innovative experience to teach history based on the use of a numismatic workshop in the teaching unit on the Old Regime. We deepen mainly on methodological aspects of the experience, and the use of different sources to develop the interpretation and historical argument in students. The experience was carried out in three consecutive courses. The assessment of the experience was carried out through a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale (1-5), where students should assess both the activity and the process of teaching and learning acquired. The results were positive over the three years.
