De las aulas de clases a Ciudades Creativas: La experiencia de los estudiantes de Historia en prácticas extensionistas

Abstract

History is part of the set of Social Sciences, its object
of study is human beings living in society over time
and in different geographical contexts. To truly
understand the evolution of a social group, it is
necessary to understand the elements that define
it and its intrinsic relationship: social, economic,
political and cultural spheres. This article records the
assessment of extensionist practices in the training of
students of the IV year of the History career, starting
from the strengthening of the concepts, theories
and procedures of science, as well as values, social
consciousness and identity expression. The writing
was mainly nourished by primary sources such as
the students' fieldwork reports, oral testimonies and
audiovisual capsules that were generated as part
of the memory of the Creative Cities project. The
methodological route involved exhaustive analysis of
the sources in all media, the use of photography as a
source, the application of interviews to students to
learn more about the perception and learning obtained
in the course of the research experience. The selected
students had to meet some selection criteria, in the
first instance having taken the necessary subjects that
would allow them to effectively execute the tasks
demanded by the field, the proximity to the place and
that the.
This work represents in some way a stimulus to the
university student, especially that of the UNANManagua, since his contribution, that of his science
and his generation, in the construction of a better and
fairer society is recognized and made visible. At the
same time, it is also an invitation for students of lower
levels to integrate into the future extension tasks of
the Alma Mater, with determination, commitment
and awareness. Therefore, we can say that the
Creative Cities represent an opportunity for social and
economic growth from the recovery, registration and
dissemination of their tangible and intangible heritage
and at the same time, they constitute a propitious
learning scenario outside the classroom for the
students of the UNAN-Managua.
