Froma qualitative research approach, the most recurrent digital narrative data has beenemptied and analyzed, based on three a priori categories of social analysis: gender,historical empathy and social conscience. The results report the predominance ofcognitive/inferential literacy skills and, consequently, the need to incorporate newscenarios for teaching-learning history from the theoretical principles of criticalpedagogy and education for active, critical and committed citizenship with socialparticipation.
