Abstract

In times of fake news and misinformation, it is essential to explore society's sources of information. In the teaching of History this need is even greater, due to the frequent use of history to legitimize messages of all kinds. To answer this need, quantitative descriptive research is proposed, with a non-experimental research design that seeks the main objective of analyzing the perception that future educators have about the sources of information that have contributed to their historical knowledge. A questionnaire was applied to 2,315 students with the aim of identifying these sources, and checking if there were differences in their perception regarding gender or course. The results show that history lessons are considered the common place from which the knowledge that future teachers possess comes. Social networks or the environment are also perceived as having a prominent role while works of fiction and, above all, museums, are perceived as less frequent sources of information. Research shows that differences by gender and grade are significant depending on the source of information asked.
